Abstract

Heterogeneity of peptidoglycans of Staphylococcus aureus of strains 3272 and Wood-46, Brevibacterium flavum, Micrococcus lysodeikticus has been studied by the method of electrophoresis in the system polyacrylamide gel--sodium dodecylsulfate. It is shown that peptidoglycans of different strains of S. aureus and other species of gram-positive bacteria treated with ultrasound are a complex of fractions with 3 basic high-molecular components with M 100, 92 and 84 kDa, while two main fractions with Mm 92 and 84 kDa are identified in peptidoglycans drugs treated with ultrasound.

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.
