The Two-Component Locus MSMEG_0244/0246 Together With MSMEG_0243 Affects Biofilm Assembly in M. smegmatis Correlating With Changes in Phosphatidylinositol Mannosides Acylation

The Two-Component Locus MSMEG_0244/0246 Together With MSMEG_0243 Affects Biofilm Assembly in M. smegmatis Correlating With Changes in Phosphatidylinositol Mannosides Acylation

Ferric and ferrous iron is an essential transition metal for growth of many bacterial species including mycobacteria. The genomic region msmeg_0234 to msmeg_0252 from Mycobacterium smegmatis is putatively involved in iron/heme metabolism. We investigate the genes encoding the presumed two component...
