Description
Diaminopimelic acid is a component of cell walls in certain prokaryotes, especially in the peptidoglycan chains of Gram-negative bacteria. These bacteria require DAP for normal growth. Without DAP, they can still grow but are unable to synthesize the peptidoglycan essential for their cell walls.
Growth of the dapA mutant wm3064 is strictly dependent on exogenously supplied DAP; hence, the removal of DAP provides an efficient counterselection against this donor.(Dehioet al.,1997)
Diaminoheptanedioic acid (DAP) is an α-amino acid. It is an ε-carboxy derivative of lysine.
