Staphylococcus aureus cells grown in a defined medium under conditions of high ionic stress (2.5 M NaCl) were significantly larger than cells grown under unstressed conditions, even though the cells grew much more slowly under stressed conditions. Analysis of the structure of peptidoglycan from stressed cells showed a shorter interpeptide bridge than in peptidoglycan from unstressed cells. Glycine betaine inclusion in the high-NaCl medium resulted in cells with sizes and interpeptide bridges similar to those of cells grown under unstressed conditions.
在高离子胁迫条件(2.5 M NaCl)下于限定培养基中生长的金黄色葡萄球菌细胞,即便在胁迫条件下生长得慢得多,但相较于在无胁迫条件下生长的细胞显著更大。对胁迫条件下细胞的肽聚糖结构分析显示,其肽间桥比无胁迫条件下细胞的肽聚糖中的肽间桥短。在高NaCl培养基中加入甘氨酸甜菜碱会使细胞大小及肽间桥与在无胁迫条件下生长的细胞相似。
