Genomics of glycopeptidolipid biosynthesis in Mycobacterium abscessus and M. chelonae

9 May 2007

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: The outermost layer of the bacterial surface is of crucial importance because it is in constant interaction with the host. Glycopeptidolipids (GPLs) are major surface glycolipids present on various mycobacterial species. In the fast-grower model organism Mycobacterium smegmatis, GPL biosynthesis involves approximately 30 genes all mapping to a single region of 65 kb. RESULTS: We have recently...
