Abstract:
:Cell wall turnover was examined in parent and mutant strains of Staphylococcus aureus. Peptidoglycan and teichoic acid were observed to undergo turnover in the wild-type strain during exponential growth; however, the rate of turnover did not decrease when the growth rate slowed, as the culture entered stationary phase. Isolated native cell walls and crude soluble autolytic enzyme were prepared from cells harvested during exponential and postexponential phases of growth. Native cell walls from both phases of growth autolyzed in buffer at identical rates; similarily, crude soluble enzyme from both preparations degraded radioactive cell walls at the same rate. Therefore, the activity of the autolysin in both exponential and postexponential cells was similar. The autolysis of whole cells of a mutant tar-1 was enhanced by 1.0 M NaCl. When 1.0 M NaCl was present under growing conditions, the rate of cell wall turnover was greatly increased. The presence of chloramphenicol, which inhibits whole-cell autolysis, also inhibited turnover. Analysis of the cell wall material recovered from spent medium revealed products consistent with the known mode of action of the endogenous autolysin. It is concluded that cell wall turnover in S. aureus is independent of the stage of culture growth but is dependent instead on the activity of the autolysin.
