Description

Fusobacterium nucleatum was grown in the presence of [14C]UDP. By means of sequential precipitation and chromatographic separation of the cytoplasmic content, a peptidoglycan [14C]UDP pentapeptide containing lanthionine was isolated. This finding indicates that lanthionine is synthesized and incorporated as such during the assembly of the peptidoglycan
