Not being experts in these methods, we will not dwell in detail on the methodical aspect of these works but give a brief description of the approaches used. The gene disruption and analysis of glycolipid production in mutant strain is a widely-used approach in the study of biosynthesis of these compounds. To generate mutants of U. , 2005). About 40 genes encoding proteins with some similarity to glycosyltransferases were identified. The function of some of these enzymes could be derived by similarity to known glycosyltransferases involved in cell wall biosynthesis or protein glycosylation.
