A research team led by Dr. Manjula Reddy at Hyderabad’s Centre for Cellular and Molecular Biology (CCMB) has discovered a ...

All bacteria have a cell wall composed of mesh-like strands of a big molecule called peptidoglycan, which surrounds the cell membrane. A cell wall provides the bacterial cell sturdiness and helps ...

They found that the biosynthesis of peptidoglycan, core component of the bacterial cell wall, is the driving force during the entire process of cell division.

Most bacterial species synthesize a semi-rigid cell wall surrounding the cytoplasmic membrane, whose main component, peptidoglycan, forms a dense meshwork that encases the cell.

Bacteria are protected by the peptidoglycan cell wall, which helps them withstand internal turgor pressure and external damages such as such as attacks from other bacteria and viruses.
