Table 1.

Muropeptides of S. carnosus TM300 analyzed by UPLC-MS. Each muropeptide contains one to five stem-peptides and each consists of the three to five amino acids l-Ala-d-iGln-l-Lys(-d-Ala)(-d-Ala). The interpeptide bridges are built of Gly molecules. The sum of all Gly residues present in each muropeptide is given. Muropeptide peaks 4, 7 and 10 (highlighted in bold) are strongly elevated by hlyD-ftsE-ftsX overexpression. Muropeptide peaks 3, 6 and 9 (highlighted in italics) are strongly elevated by high glucose and fructose concentrations.
