Abstract

Long, nonseptate filamentous cells consisting of 5 to 40 single-cell unit lengths were formed from Escherichia coli surface mutant ONT-3 by treatment with a sublethal concentration of sodium dodecyl sylfate. As distinct from several other elongated cells (e.g., thymine-starved filaments), it was found here that stable giant spheroplasts, 5 to 10 micrometers in diameter, were produced by the action of lysozyme in the presence of bovine serum albumin via the gradual fusion of distinct spheroplasting bulbs.

Bacterial Cell Wall Structure (ASM)

Bacterial cell walls are made of peptidoglycan (also called murein), which is made from polysaccharide chains cross-linked by unusual peptides containing D-amino acids. Here is the latest research on bacterial cell wall structures.
