## Abstract Penicillin‐binding protein 5 (PBP5) is a DD‐carboxypeptidase, which cleaves the terminal D‐alanine from the muramyl pentapeptide in the peptidoglycan layer of __Escherichia coli__ and other bacteria. In doing so, it varies the substrates for transpeptidation and plays a key role in main
A strain of Escherichia coli lacking the entire ponB gene and a strain lacking the proximal part of the ponA gene were constructed by substitution with a drug resistance gene. These strains lost either penicillin-binding protein(PBP)-I b or -la totally and their growth was apparently normal at 30 °
