the [[gene|ypqP]] mutant of PY79 has a less hydrophobic spore surface [pubmed|32817102]

SpsM catalyzes the C-4/C-6 dehydration of the UDP-GlcNAc to produce UDP-4-keto-6-deoxy-GlcNAc, this is the first reaction of the legionaminic acid biosynthesis pathway [pubmed|32817102]

required for spore crust assembly, legionaminic acid synthesis [pubmed|32817102]
