Demonstration of an internal fraction plane in cell walls of Streptococcus faecalis and Streptococcus mutans

U B Sleytr et al. J Bacteriol. 1979 Jul.

Abstract

The proposed lower internal density of the gram-positive wall was confirmed by observed an internal fracture plane in the walls of Streptococcus faecalis and Streptococcus mutans. However, the granular surfaces produced by this cleavage appeared to be more of a reflection of distortion during preparation than of subunit construction.
