The unusual cell wall of the Lyme disease spirochaete Borrelia burgdorferi is shaped by a tick sugar
Peptidoglycan—a mesh sac of glycans that are linked by peptides—is the main component of bacterial cell walls. Peptidoglycan provides structural strength, protects cells from osmotic pressure and contributes to shape. All bacterial glycans are repeating disaccharides of N-acetylglucosamine (GlcNAc)...
