Ethanolamine-induced assembly of microcompartments is required for Fusobacterium nucleatum virulence

Ethanolamine-induced assembly of microcompartments is required for Fusobacterium nucleatum virulence

ABSTRACT Many bacteria metabolize ethanolamine as a nutrient source through cytoplasmic organelles named bacterial microcompartments (BMCs). Here we investigated the molecular assembly, regulation, and function of BMCs in Fusobacterium nucleatum—a Gram-negative oral pathobiont that is associated wit...
