MmpL Genes Are Associated with Mycolic Acid Metabolism in Mycobacteria and Corynebacteria

Mycolic acids are vital components of the cell wall of the tubercle bacillus Mycobacterium tuberculosis and are required for viability and virulence. While mycolic acid biosynthesis is studied extensively, components involved in mycolate transport remain unidentified. We investigated the role of lar...
