The phrase "altered cell wall" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used in scientific or medical contexts, particularly when discussing changes to the structure of a cell wall in biology or microbiology.
Example: "The researchers observed that the altered cell wall of the bacteria made them resistant to certain antibiotics."
Alternatives: "modified cell wall" or "changed cell wall".
LOC_Os06g10920 was a probable ortholog of AtFUT3, of which overexpression altered cell wall composition and detrimental (Sarría et al. 2001).
We also discovered that perturbation of the CCT chaperonin complex causes enhanced echinocandin sensitivity, altered cell wall architecture, and aberrant septin localization.
Closed material transportations, loose genome conformation, and possibly altered cell wall structure and transcription pattern were the main differences of HR50 compared with DH5α, which were speculated to be responsible for the improved heat tolerance.
However, the composition of biomass feedstocks themselves is variable and may also be bioengineered for altered cell wall architecture.
These findings indicated that the aberrant chitin distribution, combining with reduced chitin production due to reduced gene expression, contributed together to weakened altered cell wall integrity in ΔMovam7 mutants.
Currently, we are trying to study whether the bacilli in the primary granuloma show a thickened or altered cell wall using electron microscopy, a change that has been reported in M. tuberculosis in vitro [26].
Liana wood may also have a smaller content of fibres, e.g. in comparison with co-occurring sub-shrubs (29%% vs. 49%% of stem cross-sectional area; Crivellaro et al., 2012) or between conspecific lianescent vs. arborescent forms (16%% vs. 63%% in M. floribundum; Angyalossy et al., 2012) as well as an altered wood cell wall structure and chemical composition (Hoffmann et al., 2003).
The identification of cell envelope mutants correlated with the gene expression and proteomic data, in which altered levels of cell wall synthesis and regulation components was observed (Fig. 5A).
Altered sensitivities to cell wall perturbing agents indicate modified cell wall properties.
In addition to the altered expression of cell wall modifying proteins, we have also detected increased expression of glutathione peroxidase (contig 2514; Additional File 2, Table S5).
Phenotypic and functional characterization of these Ecs deficient mutants revealed a defect in growth, increased autolysis and lysostaphin sensitivity, altered composition of cell wall proteins including the precursor form of staphylokinase and an altered bacterial surface texture.
