Triosephosphate Isomerase Is Dispensable <italic toggle="yes">In Vitro</italic> yet Essential for <named-content content-type="genus-species">Mycobacterium tuberculosis</named-content> To Establish Infection

ABSTRACT Triosephosphate isomerase (TPI) catalyzes the interconversion of dihydroxyacetone phosphate (DHAP) and glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate (G3P). This reaction is required for glycolysis and gluconeogenesis, and tpi has been predicted to be essential for growth of Mycobacterium tuberculosis. However...
