Inositol lipid synthesis is widespread in host-associated Bacteroidetes

2021-04-27

Abstract excerpt

Ubiquitous in eukaryotes, inositol lipids have finely tuned roles in cellular signaling and membrane homeostasis. In Bacteria, however, inositol lipid production is rare. Recently, the prominent human gut bacterium Bacteroides thetaiotaomicron (BT) was reported to produce inositol lipids, including inositol sphingolipids, but the pathways remain ambiguous and their prevalence unclear. Here, we investigated the ge...
