Abstract excerpt
Methylglucose lipopolysaccharides (MGLPs) are small cytoplasmic polysaccharides produced by mycobacteria and a few Nocardia species. Although their ability to form 1:1 complexes with long-chain fatty acids and acyl-CoAs in vitro has long suggested that they play a role in fatty acid and lipid metabolism, direct evidence for this assumption has been waiting for the availability of mutants with well-defined MGLP...
