peptidoglycan

Cluster III genes, which are positively regulated by CbfA-CTD, are enriched in GO terms representing functions that support bacterial food uptake and degradation, such as peptidoglycan degradation (e.g., lysozyme activity) and proteolysis.

In the discussion, the authors present additional evidence that supports their finding, including, but not limited to: (a) the inability to detect cytochromes within the methanogens; (b) the fact that the cell walls of methanogens do not contain peptidoglycan; (c) the 23S rRNA sequence is also divergent from typical bacteria.

They work by inhibiting cross-linkage between the linear peptidoglycan polymer chains that make up blocks of the cell wall.

Normal flagella need a P-ring to span the cell wall made of peptidoglycan and an L-ring to span the outer membrane.

For many species of bacteria, the thick peptidoglycan layer present in gram-positive cell walls is considered a potential barrier to DNA uptake.

A second series of modifications enhances the secretion process, by genetically deleting or modifying two key layers of the cellular envelope-known as the S and peptidoglycan layers-allowing fatty acids to more easily escape outside the cell, where their low water solubility causes them to precipitate out of solution, forming a whitish residue on the surface.
