متن کاملInitiation of Methylglucose Lipopolysaccharide Biosynthesis in Mycobacteria
BACKGROUND Mycobacteria produce two unique families of cytoplasmic polymethylated polysaccharides -- the methylglucose lipopolysaccharides (MGLPs) and the methylmannose polysaccharides (MMPs) -- the physiological functions of which are still poorly defined. Towards defining the roles of these polysaccharides in mycobacterial physiology, we generated knock-out mutations of genes in their putativ...

Genghof, Dorothy S. (Yeshiva University, New York, N.Y.), and Olga Van Damme. Biosynthesis of ergothioneine and hercynine by mycobacteria. J. Bacteriol. 87:852-862. 1964.-Ergothioneine and hercynine were found to be synthesized by a wide variety of mycobacteria grown in chemically defined media free from these compounds. The cultures examined included 53 recently isolated and laboratory strains...
متن کاملMolecular diagnosis of mycobacteria.
Tuberculosis is one of the leading infectious diseases in the world and is responsible for more than 2 million deaths and 8 million new cases annually. Because of the slow growth rate of the causative agent Mycobacterium tuberculosis, isolation, identification, and drug susceptibility testing of this organism and other clinically important mycobacteria can take several weeks or longer. During t...
متن کاملMolecular basis of phosphatidyl-myo-inositol mannoside biosynthesis and regulation in mycobacteria.
Phosphatidyl-myo-inositol mannosides (PIMs) are unique glycolipids found in abundant quantities in the inner and outer membranes of the cell envelope of all Mycobacterium species. They are based on a phosphatidyl-myo-inositol lipid anchor carrying one to six mannose residues and up to four acyl chains. PIMs are considered not only essential structural components of the cell envelope but also th...
