Abstract excerpt
Examination of Bacillus subtilis strains containing multiple mutations affecting the class A high-molecular-weight penicillin-binding proteins (PBPs) 1, 2c, and 4 revealed a significant degree of redundancy in the functions of these three proteins. In rich media, loss of PBPs 2c and 4 resulted in no obvious phenotype. The slight growth and cell morphology defects associated with loss of PBP 1 were exacerbated by...
