Dead‐end intermediates in the enterobacterial common antigen pathway induce morphological defects in Escherichia coli by competing for undecaprenyl phosphate

Summary Bacterial morphology is determined primarily by the architecture of the peptidoglycan (PG) cell wall, a mesh‐like layer that encases the cell. To identify novel mechanisms that create or maintain cell shape in Escherichia coli, we used flow cytometry to screen a transposon insertion library...
