Isolation and Characterization ofXenorhabdus nematophilaTransposon Insertion Mutants Defective in Lipase Activity against Tween

Year: 2009

Type: article

Abstract: We identified Xenorhabdus nematophila transposon mutants with defects in lipase activity. One of the mutations, in yigL, a conserved gene of unknown function, resulted in attenuated virulence against Manduca sexta insects. We discuss possible connections between lipase production, YigL, and specific metabolic pathways.
