lipid droplet-associated protein RHA1_ro05869 from Rhodococcus jostii RHA1, an ortholog of Rv1109c from Mycobacterium tuberculosis, has been shown specifically with lipid droplets that consist of a neutral lipid core enveloped by a phospholipid monolayer and surface proteins. Lipid droplets of triacylglycerol can be especially prominent in members of the genus Rhodococcus, but occur also in Mycobacterium tuberculosis and can support dormancy of that pathogen.
