Peptidoglycan structure and architecture. [PDF]
FEMS Microbiology Reviews, 2008 The peptidoglycan (murein) sacculus is a unique and essential structural element in the cell wall of most bacteria. Made of glycan strands cross-linked by short peptides, the sacculus forms a closed, bag-shaped structure surrounding the cytoplasmic ...

mBio, 2021 Gram-negative bacteria resist external stresses due to cell envelope rigidity, which is provided by two membranes and a peptidoglycan layer. The outer membrane (OM) surface contains lipopolysaccharide (LPS; contains O-antigen) or lipooligosaccharide (LOS)

Peptidoglycan: Structure, Synthesis, and Regulation.
EcoSal Plus, 2021 Peptidoglycan is a defining feature of the bacterial cell wall. Initially identified as a target of the revolutionary beta-lactam antibiotics, peptidoglycan has become a subject of much interest for its biology, its potential for the discovery of novel ...

Peptidoglycan precursor synthesis along the sidewall of pole-growing mycobacteria
eLife, 2018 Rod-shaped mycobacteria expand from their poles, yet d-amino acid probes label cell wall peptidoglycan in this genus at both the poles and sidewall. We sought to clarify the metabolic fates of these probes.

Are the immunomodulatory properties of Lactobacillus rhamnosus CRL1505 peptidoglycan common for all Lactobacilli during respiratory infection in malnourished mice? [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2018 Previously, we reported that Lactobacillus rhamnosus CRL1505 peptidoglycan (PG05) improves the innate immune response in immunocompromised-malnourished mice after Streptococcus pneumoniae infection.

Translation of peptidoglycan metabolites into immunotherapeutics [PDF]
Clinical & Translational Immunology, 2019 The discovery of defined peptidoglycan metabolites that activate host immunity and their specific receptors has revealed fundamental insights into host–microbe recognition and afforded new opportunities for therapeutic development against infection and ...

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.

Peptidoglycan maturation controls outer membrane protein assembly
Nature, 2022 Linkages between the outer membrane of Gram-negative bacteria and the peptidoglycan layer are crucial for the maintenance of cellular integrity and enable survival in challenging environments1–5.

Growth and Division of the Peptidoglycan Matrix.
Annual Review of Microbiology, 2021 Most bacteria are surrounded by a peptidoglycan cell wall that defines their shape and protects them from osmotic lysis. The expansion and division of this structure therefore plays an integral role in bacterial growth and division.
