Peptidoglycan Recycling in Gram-Positive Bacteria Is Crucial for Survival in Stationary Phase

ABSTRACT Peptidoglycan recycling is a metabolic process by which Gram-negative bacteria reutilize up to half of their cell wall within one generation during vegetative growth. Whether peptidoglycan recycling also occurs in Gram-positive bacteria has so far remained unclear. We show here that three G...
