The nutrition of intracellular Mycobacterium tuberculosis is particularly experimentally intractable. In this issue of Chemistry and Biology, using 13C labeling with a new method of data analysis, Beste and colleagues provide direct evidence for the nutrients and pathways used by this ancient enemy of humanity.
细胞内结核分枝杆菌的营养问题在实验上特别难以处理。在本期《化学生物学》杂志中,贝斯特及其同事使用具有新数据分析方法的13C标记,为这种人类古老敌人所利用的营养物质和途径提供了直接证据。
