Molecular imaging of glycan chains couples cell-wall polysaccharide architecture to bacterial cell morphology

The molecular architecture of peptidoglycan in the bacterial cell wall remains unclear. Here, Turner et al. use atomic force microscopy to image individual glycan strands in peptidoglycan at an unprecedented detail, revealing novel features of its molecular organisation.
