Membrane lipoteichoic acid is not a precursor to wall teichoic acid in pneumococci

E B Briles et al. J Bacteriol. 1975 Apr.

Abstract

The distribution of a pulse of teichoic acid-specific radiolabel between wall and membrane teichoic acids in pneumococci was constant over a subsequent chase period, suggesting that wall and membrane teichoic acids are biosynthesized simultaneously and independently.
