Abstract excerpt
Mycoloyltransferases (Myts) play an essential role in the biogenesis of the cell envelope of members of the Corynebacterineae, a group of bacteria that includes the mycobacteria and corynebacteria. While the existence of several functional myt genes has been demonstrated in both mycobacteria and corynebacteria (cmyt), the disruption of any of these genes has at best generated cell-wall-defective but always viable...
