Explanation:
Ok I understand your question
Generally in most of the organisms, amino acid are predominantly thought ti be synthesized and used as their L-enantiomers
The Unusual D-amino acid appear to modulate synthesis of peptidoglycan , a strong and elastic polymer that serves as stress bearing components of bacteral cell wall
Generally, D-amino acid have been associated to grow fitness and to process such as biofilm development, spore germination and signaling so D-amino acid are found in bacteria
