Global genome analysis of the shikimic acid pathway reveals greater gene loss in host-associated than in free-living bacteria
BACKGROUND: A central tenet in biochemistry for over 50 years has held that microorganisms, plants and, more recently, certain apicomplexan parasites synthesize essential aromatic compounds via elaboration of a complete shikimic acid pathway, whereas metazoans lacking this pathway require a dietary...
