Environment dependent expression of mycobacterium hormone sensitive lipases: expression pattern under ex-vivo and individual in-vitro stress conditions in M. tuberculosis H37Ra.

Different sets of mHSL genes were expressed under different individual stress conditions pointing towards the requirement of different mHSL to combat different stress conditions. Overall, most of the mHSLs have demonstrated stress dependent expression pointing towards their role in intracellular survival of mycobacteria.
