Phenotypic characterization of a glucose transporter null mutant in Leishmania mexicana.

Molecular and biochemical parasitology - 1 May 2007

Abstract excerpt

Glucose is a major source of energy and carbon in promastigotes of Leishmania mexicana, and its uptake is mediated by three glucose transporters whose genes are encoded within a single cluster. A null mutant in which the glucose transporter gene cluster was deleted by homologous gene replacement was generated previously and shown to grow more slowly than wild type promastigotes but not to be viable as amastigotes...
