Direct Observation of Conversion From Walled Cells to Wall-Deficient L-Form and Vice Versa in Escherichia coli Indicates the Essentiality of the Outer Membrane for Proliferation of L-Form Cells

Gram-negative bacteria such as Escherichia coli are surrounded by an outer membrane, which encloses a peptidoglycan layer. Even if thinner than in many Gram-positive bacteria, the peptidoglycan in E. coli allows cells to withstand turgor pressure in hypotonic medium. In hypertonic medium, E. coli tr...
