Nitrogen deprivation induces triacylglycerol accumulation, drug tolerance and hypervirulence in mycobacteria

Abstract Mycobacteria share with other actinomycetes the ability to produce large quantities of triacylglycerol (TAG), which accumulate as intracytoplasmic lipid inclusions (ILI) also known as lipid droplets (LD). Mycobacterium tuberculosis (M. tb), the etiologic agent of tuberculosis, acquires fatt...
