Term Name: peptidoglycan biosynthetic process
Synonyms: murein biosynthesis, murein biosynthetic process, peptidoglycan anabolism, peptidoglycan biosynthesis, peptidoglycan formation, peptidoglycan synthesis
Definition: The chemical reactions and pathways resulting in the formation of peptidoglycans, any of a class of glycoconjugates found in bacterial cell walls and consisting of long glycan strands of alternating residues of beta-(1,4) linked N-acetylglucosamine and N-acetylmuramic acid, cross-linked by short peptides.
