 Extracellular D-amino acids released from bacteria also regulate remodeling of the bacterial cell wall and are  thought to function in communication among bacteria to accommodate changing environment. Besides structural function in the bacterial cell wall, D-amino acids have  been associated to growth fitness and to  processes such as biofilm development, spore germination and signaling.

 Extracellular D-amino acids released from bacteria also regulate remodeling of the bacterial cell wall and are thought to function in communication among bacteria to accommodate frequently changing environments. Apart from structural function in the bacterial cell wall, D-amino acids have been associated to growth fitness and to processes such as biofilm development, spore germination and signaling.
