Absence of LTA leads to cell division defects. Scanning (SEM) and transmission (TEM) electron micrographs of the wild-type P1/7 strain and ΔltaS mutant strain. Representative scanning and transmission electron micrographs of P1/7 wild-type and ΔltaS mutant strains, taken at × 15.0 k (scale bar: 6.0 µm), × 25.0 k (scale bar: 4.0 µm), and × 80.0 k (scale bar: 1.0 µm), magnification for SEM and × 17.0 k (scale bar: 0.5 µm) for TEM. Red arrows ( →) denote septa and blue arrows ( →) indicate the presence of capsular polysaccharide.
