Effects of cell wall inhibitors on cell division in Streptococcus mutans.

abstract：:The glycolipid haptens of Mycoplasma pneumoniae became immunogenic when bound to membrane proteins of Acholeplasma laidlawii by reaggregation. This process consisted of the solubilization of lipid-depleted A. laidlawii membranes and M. pneumoniae glycolipids in 20 mm sodium dodecyl sulfate and dialysis of the mixed so...
