Wall teichoic acids regulate peptidoglycan synthesis by paving cell wall microstructure

Felix Barber, Zarina Akbary, Zhe Yuan…·Enrique Rojas

This study shows wall teichoic acids prevent nanoscopic pores in the cell wall by inhibiting PBP1 and promoting Rod complex activity, maintaining rod shape in Bacillus subtilis.
