Abstract excerpt
The chain length distribution of murein glycan strands was analyzed in wild-type cells and in cells in which preseptal and/or septal murein synthesis was prevented in ftsZ84 and ftsI36 mutants of E. coli. This revealed a significant change in glycan chain lengths in newly synthesized murein assoc...
