Description

N-acetylmuramic acid is a component of the bacterial cell wall peptidoglycan, essential for maintaining cell shape and integrity[1]. N-acetylmuramic acid inhibits spore germination by inhibiting a coat-associated hexosaminidase and a core enzyme[2]. N-acetylmuramic acid is required by Bacteroides forsythus for proliferation and the maintenance of its cell shape[3].–20°C (Powder, stored under nitrogen)-Applications–Formula-C11H19NO8-Citation–References-[1]Herbold DR, Glaser L.
