A Mobile Glycosylation Locus Modulates Cell Wall Architecture in Lactobacillus crispatus

Molecular Microbiology, EarlyView.
Serial propagation of Lactobacillus crispatus triggers transposon‐mediated loss of a mobile glycosylation gene fragment (GT3), destabilising the glycosyltransferase complex and remodelling the cell wall with 20%–25% thinner peptidoglycan, while sugar composition remains unchanged.
