Loss of a Mycobacterial Gene Encoding a Reductase Leads to an Altered Cell Wall Containing β-oxo- Mycolic Acid Analogs and Accumulation of Ketones

Mycolic acids are essential components of the mycobacterial cell wall. In this study, we show that a gene encoding a reductase involved in the final step of mycolic acid biosynthesis can be deleted in Mycobacterium smegmatis without affecting cell viability. Deletion of MSMEG4722 (ortholog of Mycoba...
