Mycobacteria are the causative agents of tuberculosis and several other significant diseases in humans. All species of mycobacteria synthesize abundant cell-wall mannolipids (phosphatidylinositol mannosides, lipoarabinomannan), a cytoplasmic methylmannose polysaccharide and O-mannosylated glycoprote...
