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 control and D-methionine-treated cells showed a severe reduction in the latter. Murein surface density increases...
