Cell Wall Core Galactofuran Synthesis Is Essential for Growth of Mycobacteria

1 Jul 2001

Abstract excerpt

The mycobacterial cell wall core consists of an outer lipid (mycolic acid) layer attached to peptidoglycan via a galactofuranosyl-containing polysaccharide, arabinogalactan. This structural arrangement strongly suggests that galactofuranosyl residues are essential for the growth and viability of mycobacteria. Galactofuranosyl residues are formed in nature by a ring contraction of UDP-galactopyranose to...
