1.1.98.3 physiological function construction of a conditional gene knockout strain targeting the gene encoding subunit dprE1 of decaprenylphosphoribose 2' epimerase. The gene is essential for viability, results suggests that decaprenylphosphoryl arabinose synthesis is essential in mycobacteria, indicate a lack of redundancy in decaprenylphosphoryl arabinose synthesis and suggest that no alternative arabinose donors for cell wall biosynthesis exist Mycolicibacterium smegmatis
