Abstract
The origin of the bacterial sacculus probably caused the origin of the domain Bacteria. Manufacture of this exoskeleton is complex because it involves the formation of polymerized peptidoglycan external to the cell membrane as a strong, stress-resistant sacculus. This process involves the formationThis publication has 78 references indexed in Scilit:
