Phylogenetic distribution of malonate semialdehyde decarboxylase (MSAD) genes among strains within the genus Mycobacterium: evidence of MSAD gene loss in the evolution of pathogenic mycobacteria

Phylogenetic distribution of malonate semialdehyde decarboxylase (MSAD) genes among strains within the genus Mycobacterium: evidence of MSAD gene loss in the evolution of pathogenic mycobacteria

Despite the great diversity of malonate semialdehyde decarboxylases (MSADs), one of five subgroups of the tautomerase superfamily (TSF) found throughout the biosphere, their distribution among strains within the genus Mycobacterium remains unknown. In this study, we sought to investigate the phyloge...
