Iâm way late with this on March 9th but Iâve watched Paul Kangas for years! He has always epitomized the NBR to me and I will sorely miss him. He was always sharp and crisp and on point.
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
114 CHAPTER 4 Cell Structure and Function in the Bacteria and Archaea on the cell wall, controlling the activity of auto-lytic enzymes acting on the peptidoglycan, and/or acting as a virulence factor that triggers fever and inflammation.The actinomycetes are phylogenetically related to the gram-positive bacteria.
