The Alanine Racemase of Mycobacterium smegmatis Is Essential for Growth in the Absence of d-Alanine
Alanine racemase, encoded by the gene alr, is an important enzyme in the synthesis of d-alanine for peptidoglycan biosynthesis. Strains of Mycobacterium smegmatis with a deletion mutation of the alr gene were found to require d-alanine for growth in both rich and minimal media. This indicates that a...
