Abstract excerpt
Minicells, as compared with a whole cell preparation of a minA/B mutant of Escherichia coli, showed a number of changes in the structure of the murein sacculus. Minicell murein was enriched in LD-A2pm-A2pm crossbridges by about 66% and reduced in the amount of L-Ala-D-Glu dipeptide moieties by ab...
