Pyrimidine biosynthesis is not an essential function for Trypanosoma brucei bloodstream forms.
<h4>Background</h4>African trypanosomes are capable of both pyrimidine biosynthesis and salvage of preformed pyrimidines from the host, but it is unknown whether either process is essential to the parasite.<h4>Methodology/principal findings</h4>Pyrimidine requirements for gro...
