Abstract

ABSTRACT We isolated a temperature-sensitive mutant with a mutation in mviN , an essential gene in Escherichia coli . At the nonpermissive temperature, mviN mutant cells swelled and burst. An intermediate in murein synthesis, polyprenyl diphosphate- N -acetylmuramic acid-(pentapeptide)- N -acetyl-glucosamine, accumulated in mutant cells. These results indicated that MviN is involved in murein synthesis.
