Structural Cell Wall Proteins.

The digestion of yeast cell wall polysaccharides in veal calves.

1. The digestibility of the cell wall polysaccharides of an alkane-grown yeast in different parts of the digestive tract of two veal calves fitted with re-entrant cannulas at the end of the ileum was studied by replacing part of the skim-milk powder of their 'normal', milk-substitute (all-milk-protein) diet by yeast (yeast diet). 2. The lactose and glucose of both the all-milk-protein diet and ...

Direct observation of Staphylococcus aureus cell wall digestion by lysostaphin.

The advent of Staphylococcus aureus strains that are resistant to virtually all antibiotics has increased the need for new antistaphylococcal agents. An example of such a potential therapeutic is lysostaphin, an enzyme that specifically cleaves the S. aureus peptidoglycan, thereby lysing the bacteria. Here we tracked over time the structural and physical dynamics of single S. aureus cells expos...
