Abstract excerpt
Peptidoglycan was prepared from purified Bacillus subtilis spores of wild-type and several mutant strains. Digestion with muramidase resulted in cleavage of the glycosidic bonds adjacent to muramic acid replaced by peptide or alanine side chains but not the bonds adjacent to muramic lactam. Reduction of the resulting muropeptides allowed their separation by reversed-phase high-pressure liquid chromatography. The...
