Muramic acid is a form of sugar acid. Chemically it is the ether between lactic acid and glucosamine. It occurs naturally as an N-acetyl derivative in peptidoglycan which has many biological functions such as a component in many typical bacterial cell walls.^[1]

Chlamydiae are unusual for not having muramic acid in their cell walls.
