Abstract excerpt
Serine/threonine protein kinases play a major role in peptidoglycan biosynthesis in Mycobacterium tuberculosis. To explore the mechanism in detail, in the present study, we have constructed a double knockout (DKO) strain lacking pknI and dacB2 in M. tuberculosis. Initially, we analyzed the colony morphology and found that the DKO strain showed smoother colony morphology on solid agar and irregular shape in...
