Although it plays a critical role in bacterial survival, its architecture is not well understood. Herein, we visualized the architecture of the peptidoglycan surface in Bacillus subtilis at the nanometer resolution, using quick-freeze, deep-etch electron microscopy (EM). Filamentous structures were observed on the entire surface of the cell, where filaments about 11 nm wide formed concentric circles on cell poles, filaments about 13 nm wide formed a circumferential mesh-like structure on the cylindrical part and a \u2018piecrust\u2019 structure was observed at the boundary. When growing cells were treated with lysozyme, the entire cell mass migrated to one side and came out from the cell envelope. Fluorescence labeling showed that lysozyme preferentially bound to a cell pole and cell division site, where the peptidoglycan synthesis was not complete. Ruffling of surface structures was observed during EM. When cells were treated with penicillin, the cell mass came out from a cleft around the cell division site. Outward curvature of the protoplast at the cleft seen using EM suggested that turgor pressure was applied as the peptidoglycan was not damaged at other positions. When muropeptides were depleted, surface filaments were lost while the rod shape of the cell was maintained. These changes can be explained on the basis of the working points of the chemical structure of peptidoglycan.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1093\/jmicro\/dfz033","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2019,8,29]],"date-time":"2019-08-29T09:03:39Z","timestamp":1567069419000},"page":"441-449","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":32,"title":["Peptidoglycan layer and disruption processes in Bacillus subtilis cells visualized using quick-freeze, deep-etch electron microscopy"],"prefix":"10.1093","volume":"68","author":[{"given":"Isil","family":"Tulum","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Graduate School of Science, Osaka City University, Osaka 558-8585, Japan"},{"name":"The OCU Advanced Research Institute for Natural Science and Technology (OCARINA), Osaka City University, Osaka 558-8585, Japan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-2736-9233","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Yuhei O","family":"Tahara","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Graduate School of Science, Osaka City University, Osaka 558-8585, Japan"},{"name":"The OCU Advanced Research Institute for Natural Science and Technology (OCARINA), Osaka City University, Osaka 558-8585, Japan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7478-7390","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Makoto","family":"Miyata","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Graduate School of Science, Osaka City University, Osaka 558-8585, Japan"},{"name":"The OCU Advanced Research Institute for Natural Science and Technology (OCARINA), Osaka City University, Osaka 558-8585, Japan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"286","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2019,11,5]]},"reference":[{"key":"2020010611175353300_ref1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"120143","DOI":"10.1098\/rsob.120143","article-title":"L-Form bacteria, cell walls and the origins of life","volume":"3","author":"Errington","year":"2013","journal-title":"Open Biol."},{"key":"2020010611175353300_ref2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"862","DOI":"10.1111\/mmi.12513","article-title":"Different walls for rods and balls: the diversity of peptidoglycan","volume":"91","author":"Turner","year":"2014","journal-title":"Mol.
