Abstract excerpt
Serrawettin W1 produced by Serratia marcescens is a surface active exolipid having various functions supporting behaviors of bacteria on surface environments. Through the genetic analyses of serrawettin-less mutants of S. marcescens 274, the swrW gene encoding putative serrawettin W1 synthetase was identified. Homology analysis of the putative SwrW demonstrated the presence of condensation, adenylation,...
