Abstract excerpt
Mutant AT268 of Azotobacter vinelandii - showing diminished production of poly-beta-hydroxybutyrate (PHB) due to a mutation in phbR (the gene coding for the transcriptional activator of the phbBAC biosynthetic operon); mutant CNT26, containing a mutation (muc26) that increases the transcription of gene algD (encoding GDP mannose dehydrogenase, the key enzyme in alginate biosynthesis); and mutant DM, carrying both...
