Msl3 is disrupted using a phage mediated delivery system. Biochemical analysis shows that the msl3 mutant does not produce mycolipanoic acids and mycolipenic (phthienoic) acids, the major constituents of polyacyl trehaloses and thus lacks this cell wall lipid, but synthesizes all of the other classes of lipids. The absence of the major acyl chains that anchor the surface-exposed acyltrehaloses causes a novel growth morphology. The cells stick to each other, most probably via the intercellular interaction between the exposed hydrophobic cell surfaces, manifesting a bead-like growth morphology without affecting the overall growth rate
