The cell wall of the oral bacterium Streptococcus mutans carries SCC, a rhamnose-containing polysaccharide with glucose side-chain decorations. Here, the authors report the SCC structure and the ...

The bacterial cell wall is crucial to maintain viability. It has previously been suggested that Gram-positive bacteria have a periplasmic region between the cell membrane and peptidoglycan cell wall ...

Uniting our strengths in cell biology, molecular biology, physiology, and pathology, producing a genuinely translational approach to medicine. The Division of Digestive Diseases aims to change ...

There are several regulatory mechanisms involved in sugar metabolism in plants, and light, as one of the regulatory factors, affects cell wall composition, starch granules, sucrose synthesis, and ...
