Abstract
The biosynthesis of murein occurs in three stages, which take place in (1) the cytoplasm forming muropeptide precursors, (2) the inner side of the cytoplasmic membrane involving the undecaprenyl-phosphate carrier lipid, and (3) the periplasm where the assembly of the macromolecule takes place. Antibiotics involved in the different steps of murein biosynthesis are described in this chapter. © 2010 Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg.
