Abstract excerpt
Peptidoglycan synthesis and its fine chemical composition were studied in dividing cocci of Escherichia coli carrying the lov-1 mutation and in which the coccal shape was obtained either by mecillinam treatment or by transferring a pbpA mutation (penicillin-binding protein 2- phenotype), as compared to normal rods and non-dividing cocci. Synchronously dividing cocci showed peptidoglycan synthesis only in the cell...
