Peptidoglycan - Wikipedia
网页Peptidoglycan or murein is a unique large macromolecule, a polysaccharide, consisting of sugars and amino acids that forms a mesh-like layer (sacculus) that surrounds the bacterial cytoplasmic membrane. [1]
Peptidoglycan (Murein) - Definition, Structure & Function
网页2017年4月28日 · Peptidoglycan, also called murein, is a polymer that makes up the cell wall of most bacteria. It is made up of sugars and amino acids, and when many molecules of peptidoglycan joined together, they form an orderly crystal lattice structure.

2.3: The Peptidoglycan Cell Wall - Biology LibreTexts
网页2023年8月31日 · The peptidoglycan cell wall surrounds the cytoplasmic membrane and prevents osmotic lysis. Peptidoglycan is composed of interlocking chains of building blocks called peptidoglycan monomers.
Peptidoglycan: Structure, Function - Microbe Online
网页Peptidoglycan is the outermost cell wall layer of gram-positive bacteria. In gram-negative bacteria, additional layers are present outside this rigid layer, called lipopolysaccharide. The peptidoglycan layer is much thicker in gram-positive than in gram-negative bacteria.
Peptidoglycan - an overview | ScienceDirect Topics
网页Peptidoglycan is the major structural polymer in most bacterial cell walls and consists of glycan chains of repeating N -acetylglucosamine and N -acetylmuramic acid residues cross-linked via peptide side chains. Peptidoglycan hydrolases are produced by many bacteria, bacteriophages and eukaryotes.
