Abstract excerpt
In contrast to the closely related bacteria Erwinia chrysanthemi, bacteria Erwinia carotovora subsp. atroseptica produce lower levels of main pathogenicity and virulence factors (pectate lyases, cellulases, and proteases) in the presence of pectins. This effect was shown to be connected with the accumulation of the intermediate product of intracellular degradation of these substances, 2,5-diketo-3-deoxygluconate...
