The cell wall thickness of M. smegmatis mc2155 (a), aceE-mut (b) and Comp (c). D. The quantification of the cell wall thickness for each strain, one hundred mycobacteria in the visual field were randomly selected. The largest distance between the outer membrane and the inner membrane of each cell was measured and statistically analyzed. Bars represent 100 nm (a, b and c). Histogram bars in panel (d) indicate standard deviation. Significant differences were determined by One Way ANOVA and are indicated by ** (P < 0.01)
