Abstract excerpt

Murein synthesis in Escherichia coli can be partially inhibited by D-methionine without concomitant alterations in growth and morphology. D-Methionine-treated cultures grow steadily for an indefinite time, therefore murein surface density should be reduced. Determination of this parameter in cont...
