Identification of cellular intermediates unveils unique enzymes for flagellar glycan biosynthesis in Clostridioides difficile.

Glycosylation of bacterial surface proteins, such as flagellin (FliC), is important for their function and is often involved in virulence of pathogens. Glycans can be further modified by so-called postglycosylation modifications (PGMs), often resulting in exclusive molecular structures. In Clostridioides difficile, a u...
