Abstract excerpt
Escherichia coli mutants deficient in 2-keto-3-deoxy-D-manno-octulosonic acid (Kdo) biosynthesis are conditionally lethal, but their phenotypes are bypassed by certain suppressor mutations or by overexpression of MsbA, the inner membrane flippase for core-lipid A. These strains grow on broth with the tetraacylated precursor lipid IV(A) replacing lipopolysaccharide [Meredith, T. C., et al. (2006) ACS Chem. Biol....
