Methylotrophy in Mycobacteria: Dissection of the Methanol Metabolism Pathway in Mycobacterium smegmatis
12 Jun 2018
Abstract excerpt
Methylotrophy, the ability to utilize single-carbon (C 1 ) compounds as the sole carbon and energy sources, is only poorly understood in mycobacteria. Both pathogenic and nonpathogenic mycobacteria, including Mycobacterium tuberculosis , are capable of utilizing C 1 compounds to meet their carbon and energy requirements, although the precise pathways are not well studied. Here we present a comprehensive study of...
