The aceE involves in mycolic acid synthesis and biofilm formation in Mycobacterium smegmatis

Abstract Background The integrity of cell wall structure is highly significant for the in vivo survival of mycobacteria. We hypothesized that changes in morphology may indicate changes in cell wall metabolism and identified an aceE gene mutant (aceE-mut) which presented a deficient colony morphology...
