Growth of T. forsythia wild-type (Tf; solid symbols) and T. forsythia ΔampG mutant (Tf ΔampG; open symbols) with MurNAc and anhMurNAc (a) and different MurNAc substituents (color-coded), including supernatants of E. coli MC4100, E. coli ΔampG, P. gingivalis W83 and F. nucleatum OMZ 589 (b); PGN of E. coli, T. forsythia, P. gingivalis and F. nucleatum (c); and digests of E. coli PGN with mutanolysin (Mut), yielding GlcNAc-MurNAc-peptides, and Slt70 (Slt), yielding GlcNAc-anhMurNAc-peptides, plus AmiD (+Ami), cutting off the peptides, yielding GlcNAc-MurNAc (d). The mean OD600 values of biological triplicates and standard errors are shown
