Identification of a Desaturase Involved in Mycolic Acid Biosynthesis in Mycobacterium smegmatis
Mycolic acids are unique long chain fatty acids found in the cell walls of mycobacteria including the tubercle bacillus, Mycobacterium tuberculosis. The introduction of double bonds in mycolic acids remains poorly understood, however, genes encoding two potential aerobic desaturases have been propos...
