In vivo imaging of MmpL transporters reveals distinct subcellular locations for export of mycolic acids and non-essential trehalose polyphleates in the mycobacterial outer membrane
Abstract The mycobacterial cell envelope consists of a typical plasma membrane, surrounded by a complex cell wall and a lipid-rich outer membrane. The biogenesis of this multilayer structure is a tightly regulated process requiring the coordinated synthesis and assembly of all its constituents. Myco...
