Pyrimidine Biosynthesis Is Not an Essential Function for Trypanosoma brucei Bloodstream Forms
BACKGROUND: African trypanosomes are capable of both pyrimidine biosynthesis and salvage of preformed pyrimidines from the host, but it is unknown whether either process is essential to the parasite. METHODOLOGY/PRINCIPAL FINDINGS: Pyrimidine requirements for growth were investigated using strictly...
