Ornithine Lipids in Burkholderia spp. Pathogenicity
The genus Burkholderia sensu lato is composed of a diverse and metabolically versatile group of bacterial species.One characteristic thought to be unique for the genus Burkholderia is the presence of two forms each (with and without 2-hydroxylation) of the membrane lipids phosphatidylethanolamine (PE) and ornithine lipids (OLs).Here, we show that o
