Abstract excerpt
Cardiolipin and its precursor phosphatidylglycerol are two anionic phospholipids that are essential for the biogenesis of functional mitochondria. To assess their role in mitochondrial and cellular functions in the pathogenic yeast Candida glabrata, a functional characterization of the CgPGS1 gene encoding the phosphatidylglycerolphosphate synthase has been carried out. Transposon insertion mutation in CgPGS1...
