Abstract excerpt
Peptidoglycan (PG) is the main structural component of bacterial envelopes. It protects bacterial cells against variations in osmotic pressure and cell lysis. The newly discovered Escherichia coli factor ElyC has been shown to be important for peptidoglycan biosynthesis at low temperatures. PG production in ΔelyC mutant cells is totally blocked after a few hours of growth at 21°C, triggering cell lysis. In this...
