Abstract excerpt
Spontaneous variation of the level of alginate synthesis in Pseudomonas aeruginosa was associated with changes in the activity of all four enzymes leading to synthesis of GDP-mannuronic acid, the activated precursor for polymerization. For the high-alginate-producing variant 8821M, alginate yield...
