Lipopolysaccharide biosynthesis and traffic in the envelope of the pathogen Brucella abortus
Pathogenic Brucella abortus, containing a mix of lipopolysaccharides with or without O-antigen, grows its envelope in a unipolar manner. Here, Servais et al, localize the LPS translocation machinery and identify the main O-antigen ligase in Brucella species, shedding light on the basic biology of th...

| Summary: | Pathogenic Brucella abortus, containing a mix of lipopolysaccharides with or without O-antigen, grows its envelope in a unipolar manner. Here, Servais et al, localize the LPS translocation machinery and identify the main O-antigen ligase in Brucella species, shedding light on the basic biology of this organism. |
