Changes in wall teichoic acid during the rod-sphere transition of Bacillus subtilis 168.

Journal of bacteriology - 1 Dec 1994

Pollack J H, Neuhaus F C

Abstract excerpt

Wall teichoic acid (WTA) is essential for the growth of Bacillus subtilis 168. To clarify the function of this polymer, the WTAs of strains 168, 104 rodB1, and 113 tagF1 (rodC1) grown at 32 and 42 degrees C were characterized. At the restrictive temperature, the rodB1 and tagF1 (rodC1) mutants undergo a rod-to-sphere transition that is correlated with changes in the WTA content of the cell wall. The amount of WTA...
