Advanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.Photo‐iniferter polymerization is used to create antimicrobial polymers which are decorated with sugar units by either copolymerization of glycomonomers or post‐polymerization functionalization. Although a selectivity based on lectin binding can not be observed, the presence of sugar leads to improved bioactivity based on the presence of neutral ...

Mutations in the Lipopolysaccharide Biosynthesis Pathway Interfere with Crescentin-Mediated Cell Curvature in Caulobacter crescentus [PDF]
, 2010 Bacterial cell morphogenesis requires coordination among multiple cellular systems, including the bacterial cytoskeleton and the cell wall. In the vibrioid bacterium Caulobacter crescentus, the intermediate filament-like protein crescentin forms a cell

The bacterial peptidoglycan-sensing molecule Pglyrp2 modulates brain development and behavior
Molecular Psychiatry, 2016 Recent studies have revealed that the gut microbiota modulates brain development and behavior, but the underlying mechanisms are still poorly understood.

Advanced Therapeutics, EarlyView.This study introduces a reliable technique for the large‐scale production of bacterial vesicles that maintain their immune‐modulating potential, enabling industrial manufacturing and clinical applications. Although other cancer immunotherapies are available, this research presents an advanced bacterial vesicle‐based therapeutic option, with scalable ...

A novel type of meso-diaminopimelic acid-based peptidoglycan and novel poly(erythritol phosphate) teichoic acids in cell walls of two coryneform isolates from the surface flora of French cooked cheeses [PDF]
, 1993 The primary structure of the peptidoglycan and the teichoic acids of two coryneform isolates from the surface flora of French cooked cheeses, CNRZ 925 and CNRZ 926, have been determined.

Dislocation-mediated growth of bacterial cell walls
, 2012 Recent experiments have illuminated a remarkable growth mechanism of rod-shaped bacteria: proteins associated with cell wall extension move at constant velocity in circles oriented approximately along the cell circumference (Garner et al., Science (2011),

In vivo and in vitro characterization of Staphylococcus aureus and Bacillus subtilis polyglycerolphosphate lipoteichoic acid synthases [PDF]
, 2011 Staphylococcus aureus lipoteichoic acid (LTA) consists of a 1,3-linked polyglycerolphosphate chain retained in the bacterial membrane by a glycolipid anchor.

Nature Chemistry, 2019 Peptidoglycan is an essential cell wall component that maintains the morphology and viability of nearly all bacteria. Its biosynthesis requires periplasmic transpeptidation reactions, which construct peptide crosslinkages between polysaccharide chains to

Bacterial peptidoglycan recycling
Trends in MicrobiologyDuring growth and division, the bacterial cell wall is remodeled, resulting in the liberation of peptidoglycan (PG) fragments which are typically reinternalized and recycled. Recycling of PG has been studied in a few model species, but its importance and diversity are not yet well understood.
