Plasticity of Escherichia coli cell wall metabolism promotes fitness and antibiotic resistance across environmental conditions

Although the peptidoglycan cell wall is an essential structural and morphological feature of most bacterial cells, the extracytoplasmic enzymes involved in its synthesis are frequently dispensable under standard culture conditions. By modulating a single growth parameter—extracellular pH—we discover...
