Bacillus subtilis cells lacking penicillin-binding protein 1 require increased levels of divalent cations for growth.

Journal of bacteriology - 1 Sept 1998

Murray T, Popham D L, Setlow P

Abstract excerpt

Bacillus subtilis strains lacking penicillin-binding protein 1 (PBP1), encoded by ponA, required greater amounts of Mg2+ or Ca2+ for vegetative growth or spore outgrowth than the wild-type strain and strains lacking other high-molecular-weight (HMW) PBPs. Growth of ponA cells in a medium low in Mg2+ also resulted in greatly increased cell bending compared to wild-type cells or cells lacking other HMW PBPs. The...
