General Information
Term peptidoglycan biosynthetic process ID (Ontology) GO:0009252 (Gene Ontology)
Definition The chemical reactions and pathways resulting in the formation of peptidoglycans, any of a class of glycoconjugates found in bacterial cell walls and consisting of long glycan strands of alternating residues of beta-(1,4) linked N-acetylglucosamine and N-acetylmuramic acid, cross-linked by short peptides.[ PubMed:18266853 ]
Also Known As "murein biosynthesis" ; "murein biosynthetic process" ; "peptidoglycan anabolism" (for all, see Synonyms field below)
