Validation of the 3-under-2 principle of cell wall growth in Gram-positive bacteria by simulation of a simple coarse-grained model [PDF]
arXiv, 2017 The aim of this work is to propose a first coarse-grained model of Bacillus subtilis cell wall, handling explicitly the existence of multiple layers of peptidoglycans. In this first work, we aim at the validation of the recently proposed "three under two" principle.

Cryo-Electron Tomography Elucidates the Molecular Architecture of Treponema pallidum, the Syphilis Spirochete [PDF]
, 2009 Cryo-electron tomography (CET) was used to examine the native cellular organization of Treponema pallidum, the syphilis spirochete. T. pallidum cells appeared to form flat waves, did not contain an outer coat and, except for bulges over the basal bodies ...

Kytococcus aerolatus sp. nov., isolated from indoor air in a room colonized with moulds [PDF]
, 2009 A Gram-positive, coccoid bacterial isolate (02-St-019/1(T)), forming beige pigmented colonies was obtained from an indoor air sample. Based on 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity studies it was determined that this isolate 02-St-019/1(T) belonged to the ...

Peptidoglycan of Pseudomonas aeruginosa.
Agricultural and Biological Chemistry, 1976 A practical method for preparing peptidoglycan from Ps. aeruginosa and E. coli was devised. After bacterial cells were dissolved in boiling 4% SDS solution, peptidoglycan was collected and washed with water by centrifugation. Peptidoglycan was treated further with pronase and lyophilized. The final preparation of peptidoglycan from Ps.

Drosophila immunity: analysis of PGRP-SB1 expression, enzymatic activity and function.
PLoS ONE, 2011 Peptidoglycan is an essential and specific component of the bacterial cell wall and therefore is an ideal recognition signature for the immune system. Peptidoglycan recognition proteins (PGRPs) are conserved from insects to mammals and able to bind PGN ...

Role of Toll-Like Receptors in the interplay between pathogen and damage associated molecular patterns [PDF]
arXiv, 2019 Various theoretical studies have been carried out to infer relevant protein-protein interactions among pathogens and their hosts. Such studies are generally based on preferential attachment of bacteria / virus to their human receptor homologs. We have analyzed 17 pathogenic species mainly belonging to bacterial and viral pathogenic classes, with the ...
