Abstract
The gene (pbp4B) encoding a putative DD-carboxypeptidase has been deleted in Escherichia coli and it is shown to be not essential for cell division. Disruption of the gene in a genetic background where all putative activities of DD-carboxypeptidases and/or DD-endopeptidases had been eliminated indicates that these activities are not required for cell growth in enterobacteria. The penicillin-binding capacity and a low DD-carboxypeptidase activity of PBP4B are demonstrated.Entities:
