Some properties of two autolytic-defective mutants of Streptococcus faecalis ATCC 9790.

abstract：UNLABELLED:To stabilize cellular integrity in the face of environmental perturbations, most bacteria, including cyanobacteria, synthesize and maintain a strong, flexible, three-dimensional peptidoglycan lattice. Anabaena sp. strain PCC 7120 is a filamentous cyanobacterium capable of differentiating morphologically dist...
