Comparison of the biosynthesis of the methanobacterial pseudomurein and the eubacterial murein

E Hartmann et al. Naturwissenschaften. 1990 Oct.

Abstract

From cell extracts of the archaebacterium Methanobacterium thermoautotrophicum 11 putative precursors of the pseudomurein were isolated and characterized. On the basis of the isolated intermediates, a biosynthetic pathway of the pseudomurein is proposed. Compared to the eubacterial murein the biosynthetic stages follow different pathways as indicated by the occurrence of a nucleotide-activated disaccharide and nucleotide-activated peptides.
