A mevalonate bypass system facilitates elucidation of plastid biology in malaria parasites.
PLoS Pathogens, 2020 Malaria parasites rely on a plastid organelle for survival during the blood stages of infection. However, the entire organelle is dispensable as long as the isoprenoid precursor, isopentenyl pyrophosphate (IPP), is supplemented in the culture medium.
