Bacterial cell wall synthesis: the effect of threonine depletion.
Our previous studies of Streptococcus faecalis 9790 have shown that the depletion of an essential amino acid from a highly buffered synthetic medium corresponds to the end of the exponential growth phase (log phase) (2, 3). The end of the log phase is followed by further turbidity changes that are characteristic for the particular amino acid studied. The exhaustion of valine is followed by a sl...
متن کامل1-aminoethylphosphonic acid, an inhibitor of bacterial cell wall synthesis.
Sir: There are numerous steps in bacterial cell wall synthesisll) but the compounds inhibiting this synthesis are limited. To this group of compounds, i. e. penicillins2), cephalosporins2), ristocetin6), vancomycin7), bacillin1^ moenomycin5), prasinomycin9), cycloserine10), O-carbamyl-D-serine10), glycine8), and damino acids3) can be added 1-aminoethylphosphonic acid (AEPA). When titrated again...
متن کاملIdiosyncratic features in tRNAs participating in bacterial cell wall synthesis
The FemX(Wv) aminoacyl transferase of Weissella viridescens initiates the synthesis of the side chain of peptidoglycan precursors by transferring l-Ala from Ala-tRNA(Ala) to UDP-MurNAc-pentadepsipeptide. FemX(Wv) is an attractive target for the development of novel antibiotics, since the side chain is essential for the last cross-linking step of peptidoglycan synthesis. Here, we show that FemX(...
متن کاملBacterial cell wall synthesis: new insights from localization studies.
In order to maintain shape and withstand intracellular pressure, most bacteria are surrounded by a cell wall that consists mainly of the cross-linked polymer peptidoglycan (PG). The importance of PG for the maintenance of bacterial cell shape is underscored by the fact that, for various bacteria, several mutations affecting PG synthesis are associated with cell shape defects. In recent years, t...
متن کاملthe effect of taftan pozzolan on the compressive strength of concrete in the environmental conditions of oman sea (chabahar port)
cement is an essential ingredient in the concrete buildings. for production of cement considerable amount of fossil fuel and electrical energy is consumed. on the other hand for generating one tone of portland cement, nearly one ton of carbon dioxide is released. it shows that 7 percent of the total released carbon dioxide in the world relates to the cement industry. considering ecological issu...
