Abstract

Alanine is a major component of the peptidoglycan (mucopeptide) and teichoic acid moieties of bacterial cell walls (Salton, 1964). Part of the alanine in the wall is present as the d-isomer (39–50% in Streptococcus faecalis (Ikawa and Snell, 1960; Toennies and Shockman, 1959) and 67% in Staphylococcus aureus (Strominger et al, 1959). Salton (1961) has proposed that the occurrence of d-amino acids in the wall renders the bacterium resistant to proteolytic enzymes. Thus, it may be argued that the introduction of d-amino acids, e.g. d-alanine and d-glutamic acid, into the bacterial wall is a protective mechanism that the bacterium possesses against its environment.
