Cell morphology maintenance in Bacillus subtilis through balanced peptidoglycan synthesis and hydrolysis.

Scientific reports - 21 Oct 2020

Sassine Jad, Sousa Joana, Lalk Michael, Daniel Richard A, Vollmer Waldemar

Abstract excerpt

The peptidoglycan layer is responsible for maintaining bacterial cell shape and permitting cell division. Cell wall growth is facilitated by peptidoglycan synthases and hydrolases and is potentially modulated by components of the central carbon metabolism. In Bacillus subtilis, UgtP synthesises the glucolipid precursor for lipoteichoic acid and has been suggested to function as a metabolic sensor governing cell...
