Replacement of diaminopimelic acid by cystathionine or lanthionine in the peptidoglycan of Escherichia coli.

In Escherichia coli, auxotrophy for diaminopimelic acid (A2pm) can be suppressed by growth with exogenous cystathionine or lanthionine. The incorporation of cystathionine into peptidoglycan metabolism was examined with a dapA metC mutant, whereas for lanthionine, a dapA metA mutant strain was used....
