Summary Introduction
To determine: The reason for the covering made for D-glutamic acid in Bacillus anthracis is indigestible for white blood cell that normally engulf bacteria.
Introduction:
Anthrax is a disease caused by a bacterium, Bacillus anthracis observed by Koch. When Koch studied the infected blood of animals, he observed a rod-shaped bacterium that synthesizing chains. From this study he observed that the endospores present in the bacterial cells, produced anthrax, when injected into the mice.
