Lipid Intermediate in the Synthesis of the Linkage Unit That Joins Teichoic Acid to Peptidoglycan in Bacillus subtilis
AUTOR(ES)
Hancock, Ian C.
RESUMO
Membranes from Bacillus subtilis W23 synthesized a lipid precursor of the linkage unit that attaches teichoic acid to the cell wall. It contained glycerophosphoryl-N-acetylglucosamine, linked through an acid-labile bond to a lipid.
