Abstract:26The epidemiological importance of bacteria from the genus Mycobacterium is 27 indisputable and the necessity to find new molecules that can inhibit their growth 28 is urgent. The shikimate pathway, required for the synthesis of important 29 metabolites in bacteria, represents a target for inhibitors of Mycobacterium 30 tuberculosis growth. The aroA-encoded 5-enolpyruvylshikimate-3-phosphate 31 synthase (EPSPS) enzyme catalyzes the sixth step of the shikimate pathway. In 32 this study, we combined gene knocko… Show more
