Modulation of Peptidoglycan Synthesis by Recycled Cell Wall Tetrapeptides
Summary: The bacterial cell wall is made of peptidoglycan (PG), a polymer that is essential for the maintenance of cell shape and survival. During growth, bacteria remodel their PG, releasing fragments that are predominantly re-internalized and recycled. Here, we show that Vibrio cholerae recycles P...
