Microbial cell wall structures play a significant role in
maintaining cells' shape, as protecting layers against harmful
agents, in cell adhesion and in positive and negative biological
activities with host cells. All prokaryotes, whether they are
bacteria or archaea, rely on their surface polymers for these
multiple functions. Their surfaces serve as the indispensable
primary interfaces between the cell and its surroundings, often
mediating or catalyzing important interactions.
"Prokaryotic Cell Wall Compounds" summarizes the current state
of knowledge on the prokaryotic cell wall. Topics concerning
bacterial and archaeal polymeric cell wall structures, biological
activities, growth and inhibition, cell wall interactions and the
applications of cell wall components, especially in the field of
nanobiotechnology, are presented.
