Understanding the roles of triacylglycerol in modulating mycobacterial growth and biophysical properties

University of Leicester Department of Respiratory Sciences

Mycobacteria contain more lipid than any other bacteria. In addition to a characteristically lipid-rich cell envelope, mycobacteria can accumulate triacylglycerol (TAG) as cytoplasmic lipid bodies (LBs). Read more
