“…Cell wall turnover has also been demonstrated in a variety of other gram-positive organisms including Streptococcus aureus (31), Lac-tobacillus acidophilus (3,11), and B. megaterium (4)(5)(6)21), each of which shows somewhat different kinetic characteristics than the turnover observed with B. subtilis.…”

“…The first report describing the bacterial cell wall turnover was published for the Gram-positive bacterium Bacillus megaterium more than 50 years ago (23). Later on, pulse-chased experiments demonstrated with radioactively labeled cell wall precursors that all studied Grampositive bacteria carry out a cell wall turnover as well as Gram-negative bacteria (14,34,81,107).…”

“…PG degradation research has shown that a large portion of degradation intermediates are reutilized during bacterial cell growth. This cell wall turnover phenomenon was discovered in the early 1960s byŘíhová L. and coworkers, and the activity of cell wall degradation has since been discovered in a variety of Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria, including E. coli (Chaloupka, Křečková,Řfhová, 1962;Chaloupka et al, 2008;Doyle, Chaloupka, & Vinter, 1988;Park & Uehara, 2008). Using radiolabeled PG from E. coli, Goodell and Schwarz calculated the percentage of PG that is lost during each generation and identified intermediate molecules from the cell medium (Goodell, 1985;Goodell & Schwarz, 1985).…”
