Unveiling the Biosynthetic Pathway for Short Mycolic Acids in Nontuberculous Mycobacteria: Mycobacterium smegmatis MSMEG_4301 and Its Ortholog Mycobacterium abscessus MAB_1915 Are Essential for the Synthesis of α′-Mycolic Acids
Mycolic acids, a hallmark of the genus Mycobacterium, are unique branched long-chain fatty acids produced by a complex biosynthetic pathway. Due to their essentiality and involvement in various aspects of mycobacterial pathogenesis, the synthesis of mycolic acids—and the identification of the enzyme...
