Abstract
The biosynthesis of hexamannophosphoinositides in Mycobacterium smegmatis ATCC 607 was examined using labelled tri- and tetraacylated dimannophosphoinositides (PIM2(-3)F and PIM2(-4)F) as precursors, by in vivo and in vitro incorporation. Tetraacylated dimannoside was metabolically more active as compared to triacylated dimannoside and seems to be the precursor for the synthesis of hexamannophosphoinositides.
