malfunction | thermal inactivation of InhA at 42°C in Mycobacterium smegmatis results in the inhibition of mycolic acid biosynthesis, a decrease in hexadecanoic acid (C16:0) and a concomitant increase of tetracosanoic acid (C24:0) in a manner equivalent to that seen in isoniazid-treated cells. The InhA-inactivated cells, like isoniazid-treated cells, undergo a drastic morphological change, leading to cell lysis. InhA inactivation, alone, is sufficient to induce the accumulation of saturated fatty acids, cell wall alterations, and cell lysis | Mycolicibacterium smegmatis |
