Roles for cell wall glycopeptidolipid in surface adherence and planktonic dispersal of Mycobacterium avium

Article Abstract:

The core glycopeptidolipid (GPL) in biofilm formation by mutants of Mycobacterium avium with transposon insertions into pstAB was examined using three model systems. The analysis has shown that GPLs are directly or indirectly required for colonization of some surfaces and they might also play a different role by facilitating the survival or dispersal of nonadherent Mycobacterium avium cells in circulating water.
