Abstract: The cell wall is a shape-defining structure that envelopes almost all bacteria and protects them from environmental stresses. Bacteria can be forced to grow without a cell wall under certain conditions that interfere with cell… read more here.

Abstract: Streptomycetes are biotechnologically valuable bacteria with complex cell division that produce extracellular vesicles (EVs), typically nanometre-sized but can reach 2.5 μm in diameter. Streptomyces also produce dividing wall-deficient L-forms (0.5–7 μm diameter) and, under hyperosmotic… read more here.

Abstract: The peptidoglycan (PG) cell wall is a defining feature of the bacteria. It emerged very early in evolution and must have contributed significantly to the success of these organisms. The wall features prominently in our… read more here.

Abstract: The cell wall is a physical scaffold that all transenvelope complexes have to cross for assembly. However, the cell wall-deficient state has been described as a common condition found in both Gram-negative and Gram-positive pathogens… read more here.
