The chitobiose transporter, chbC, is required for chitin utilization in Borrelia burgdorferi.

BMC microbiology - 26 Jan 2010

Rhodes Ryan G, Atoyan Janet A, Nelson David R

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: The bacterium Borrelia burgdorferi, the causative agent of Lyme disease, is a limited-genome organism that must obtain many of its biochemical building blocks, including N-acetylglucosamine (GlcNAc), from its tick or vertebrate host. GlcNAc can be imported into the cell as a monomer or dimer (chitobiose), and the annotation for several B. burgdorferi genes suggests that this organism may be able to...
