Recent evidence established that the cell envelope of Mycobacterium tuberculosis, the bacillus causing tuberculosis (TB), is coated by an ?-glucan-containing capsule that has been implicated in persistence in a mouse infection model. As one of three... Read More about Synthesis of ?-glucan in mycobacteria involves a hetero-octameric complex of trehalose synthase TreS and Maltokinase Pep2.
