Unstable Escherichia coli L Forms Revisited: Growth Requires Peptidoglycan Synthesis

Growing bacterial L forms are reputed to lack peptidoglycan, although cell division is normally inseparable from septal peptidoglycan synthesis. To explore which cell division functions L forms use, we established a protocol for quantitatively converting a culture of a wild-type Escherichia coli K-1...
