Metabolic flexibility and an unusual route for peptidoglycan muramic acid recycling in mycobacteria

2026-03-24

Abstract excerpt

De novo biosynthesis of cell wall peptidoglycan is essential for bacterial viability under many growth conditions and is a well-validated antibiotic target. Although generally not essential for bacterial fitness under standard laboratory growth conditions, peptidoglycan recycling can aid bacterial survival under host or antibiotic stress. Peptidoglycan consists of alternating sugars N -acetylmuramic acid (Mur N...
