Figure 8

Pentaglycine cross-linkages in Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacterial peptidoglycan. Disaccharide pentapeptide monomer in Gram-negative bacterial peptidoglycan possesses meso-diaminopimelic acid (mDAP), whereas Gram-positive bacterial peptidoglycan has l-lysine instead. Basic concept (with adaptations) has been drawn from Irazoki, Hernandez, and Cava, 2019 [111]. Figure 8 has been drawn using Microsoft Word.
