Editing Corynebacterium (section)

=== Cell wall ===
The [[cell wall]] is distinctive, with a predominance of [[mesodiaminopimelic acid]] in the [[murein]] wall<ref name=caspium /><ref name=glaucum /> and many repetitions of [[arabinogalactan]], as well as corynemycolic acid (a [[mycolic acid]] with 22 to 26 [[carbon]] atoms), bound by [[disaccharide]] bonds called [[L-Rhap|L-Rha''p'']]-(1 → 4)--D-GlcNAc-phosphate. These form a complex commonly seen in ''Corynebacterium'' species: the mycolyl-AG–peptidoglican (mAGP).<ref>{{cite journal |doi=10.1093/glycob/cwl066 |pmid=17088267 |title=Topology and mutational analysis of the single Emb arabinofuranosyltransferase of Corynebacterium glutamicum as a model of Emb proteins of Mycobacterium tuberculosis |journal=Glycobiology |volume=17 |issue=2 |pages=210–9 |year=2006 |last1=Seidel |first1=M. |last2=Alderwick |first2=L.
