Abstract excerpt
D-Glutamic acid is an essential component of bacterial cell wall peptidoglycan in both gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria. Very little is known concerning the genetics and biochemistry of D-glutamate production in most bacteria, including Escherichia coli. Evidence is presented in this repo...
