General description

Muramic acid is a marker for Gram-positive bacteria.

Application

Muramic acid has been used in a study to examine the association of house dust microbial content with cytokine-producing capacity at birth and at 1 year of age. It has also been used in studies to investigate novel bacteria strains isolated from air and soil samples collected from Korea and Thailand.

A novel actinomycete strain, 7402J-48(T), was isolated from an air sample collected from Jeju island, Republic of Korea. Cells were gram-positive, aerobic, flagellated, short rods. Strain 7402J-48(T) showed highest 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity (98.6 %) with Angustibacter luteus TT07R-79(T), and
