the bacterial cytoskeleton and cell shape-determining proteins such as MreC, function in concert to orches-trate the localization of cell wall synthetic complexes resulting in spatially co-ordinated and efficient pepti-doglycan synthetic activity. Introduction The distinct morphology of most bacterial cells is dictated by the architecture of the peptidoglycan cell wall. In Gram-negative bacteria, the cell wall is thought to be a single
Cytoplasm - The cytoplasm, or protoplasm, of bacterial cells is where the functions for cell growth, metabolism, and replication are carried out. It is a gel-like matrix composed of water, enzymes, nutrients, wastes, and gases and contains cell structures such as ribosomes, a chromosome, and plasmids.
