description

Bacteria from different phylogenetic positions such as chlamydiae, mycoplasmas, planctomycetes and also endosymbiotic murein-containing cyanelles were investigated for the production of beta-lactamases. No beta-lactamase activity was found in bacteria lacking murein such as Chlamydia pneumoniae, Mycoplasma pneumoniae, Pirellula marina and Planctomyces maris. In the murein-containing cyanelles of Cyanophora paradoxa no beta-lactamase activity could be detected.
