International audience. Depletion of the Bacillus subtilis GTPase CpgA produces abnormal cell shapes, nonuniform deposition of cell wall, and five- to sixfold accumulation of peptidoglycan precursors. Nevertheless, the inherent structure of the cell wall appeared mostly unchanged. The results are consistent with CpgA being involved in coordinating normal peptidoglycan deposition.
