Unnatural D-amino acids bearing endocyclic nitrones were developed for live-cell labelling of the bacterial peptidoglycan layer. Metabolic incorporation of D-Lys and D-Ala derivatives bearing different endocyclic nitrones was observed in E. coli, L. innocua, and L. lactis. The incorporated nitrones of these bacteria then rapidly underwent strain-promoted alkyne-nitrone cycloaddition (SPANC) reactions affording chemically modified bacteria.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D008087 Listeria A genus of bacteria which may be found in the feces of animals and man, on vegetation, and in silage. Its species are parasitic on cold-blooded and warm-blooded animals, including man.
D009589 Nitrogen Oxides Inorganic oxides that contain nitrogen. Nitrogen Oxide,Oxide, Nitrogen,Oxides, Nitrogen
D010457 Peptidoglycan A structural polymer of the bacterial cell envelope consisting of sugars and amino acids which is responsible for both shape determination and cellular integrity under osmotic stress in virtually all bacteria. Murein,Pseudomurein
D004926 Escherichia coli A species of gram-negative, facultatively anaerobic, rod-shaped bacteria (GRAM-NEGATIVE FACULTATIVELY ANAEROBIC RODS) commonly found in the lower part of the intestine of warm-blooded animals. It is usually nonpathogenic, but some strains are known to produce DIARRHEA and pyogenic infections. Pathogenic strains (virotypes) are classified by their specific pathogenic mechanisms such as toxins (ENTEROTOXIGENIC ESCHERICHIA COLI), etc. Alkalescens-Dispar Group,Bacillus coli,Bacterium coli,Bacterium coli commune,Diffusely Adherent Escherichia coli,E coli,EAggEC,Enteroaggregative Escherichia coli,Enterococcus coli,Diffusely Adherent E. coli,Enteroaggregative E. coli,Enteroinvasive E. coli,Enteroinvasive Escherichia coli
