The microbial cell wall is essential for maintenance of cell shape and resistance to external stressors<sup>1</sup>. The primary structural component of the cell wall is peptidoglycan, a glycopolymer with peptide crosslinks located outside of the cell membrane<sup>1</sup>. Peptidoglycan biosynthesis and structure are responsive to shifting environmental conditions such as pH and salinity<sup>2-6</sup>, but the mechanisms underlying such adaptations are incompletely understood. Precursors of pept ...[more]
