Abstract excerpt
Alginate, a co-polymer of O-acetylated beta-1,4-linked D-mannuronic acid and L-guluronic acid, has been reported to function in the virulence of Pseudomonas syringae, although genetic studies to test this hypothesis have not been undertaken previously. In the present study, we used a genetic approach to evaluate the role of alginate in the pathogenicity of P. syringae pv. syringae 3525, which causes bacterial...
