<named-content content-type="genus-species">Streptococcus gordonii</named-content> Type I Lipoteichoic Acid Contributes to Surface Protein Biogenesis

ABSTRACT Lipoteichoic acid (LTA) is an abundant polymer of the Gram-positive bacterial cell envelope and is essential for many species. Whereas the exact function of LTA has not been elucidated, loss of LTA in some species affects hydrophobicity, biofilm formation, and cell division. Using a viable...
