Staphylococcus aureus cells grown in a defined medium under conditions of high ionic stress (2.5 M NaCl) were significantly larger than cells grown under unstressed conditions, even though the cells grew much more slowly under stressed conditions. Analysis of the structure of peptidoglycan can from stressed cells showed a shorter interpeptide bridge than in peptidoglycan from unstressed cells. Glycine betaine inclusion in the high-NaCl medium resulted in cells with sizes and interpeptide bridges similar to those of cells grown under unstressed conditions.
