The role of O-acetylation in the metabolism of peptidoglycan in Providencia stuartii.

Microbial drug resistance (Larchmont, N.Y.) - 1 Jan 1996

Payie K G, Strating H, Clarke A J

Abstract excerpt

The gentamicin 2'-N-acetyltransferase [EC 2.3.1.59; AAC(2')-Ia] of Providencia stuartii was shown to contribute to the O-acetylation of peptidoglycan and mutants that either under- or overexpress the aac(2')-Ia gene was characterized phenotypically to possess either lower or higher levels of peptidoglycan O-acetylation, respectively, compared to the wild-type. These mutants were subjected to scanning electron...
