The Bacterial Cell Wall The tough, inflexible envelope that surrounds a bacterium is a single giant molecule made up of amino acid and sugar units. Its formation is blocked by drugs such as penicillin ...

The team recorded 24 hours of the cellular construction process, revealing surprising new details about how plant cell walls ...

These LSU scientists look to make history by releasing a new antibiotic for the first time in years that targets drug-resistant bacteria.

Plant cells are surrounded by an intricately structured protective coat called the cell wall. It’s built of cellulose microfibrils intertwined with polysaccharides like hemicellulose or pectin.

In one study I worked on, we showed that part of a bacterial cell wall, when injected into patients, could safely help control melanoma—the most deadly form of skin cancer. Bacterial-based cancer ...

Rutgers’ biophysicists, bioengineers and plant biologists capture first live images of cellulose construction leading to ...
