Abstract
The hypothesis that the biosynthesis of the glycolyl group of muramic acid in the peptidoglycan of Myobacterium phlei is catalyzed by an N-acetyl hydroxylase is strongly supported by the experiments reported in this paper. 18O is incorporated into the N-substituent of muramic acid isolated from the peptidoglycan of M. phlei grown under pure oxygen enriched with the 18O isotope.
