Comparison of the biosynthesis of the methanobacterial pseudomurein and the eubacterial murein

Die Naturwissenschaften
E Hartmann, H König

Abstract

From cell extracts of the archaebacterium Methanobacterium thermoautotrophicum 11 putative precursors of the pseudomurein were isolated and characterized. On the basis of the isolated intermediates, a biosynthetic pathway of the pseudomurein is proposed. Compared to the eubacterial murein the biosynthetic stages follow different pathways as indicated by the occurrence of a nucleotide-activated disaccharide and nucleotide-activated peptides.

Bacterial Cell Wall Structure

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.
