Abstract excerpt
FabZ, a β-hydroxyacyl-acyl carrier protein dehydratase in the type II fatty acid synthesis pathway, is essential for the viability of Pseudomonas aeruginosa by ensuring proper fatty acid elongation and membrane stability. However, the precise genetic interactions between fabZ and lipid A biosynthesis genes, such as lpxA and lpxC, as well as the potential existence of other suppressor genes of fabZ in P....
