Abstract excerpt
We compared phenotypes of five strains of Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) differing in their expression of rv1248c and its product, 2-hydroxy-3-oxoadipate synthase (HOAS), with a focus on carbon source-dependent growth rates and attenuation in mice. Surprisingly, an rv1248c transposon mutant on a CDC1551 background grew differently than an rv1248c deletion mutant on the same background. Moreover, the same...
