Alginate lyase (AlgL) activity is required for alginate biosynthesis in Pseudomonas aeruginosa.

Abstract excerpt

To determine whether AlgL's lyase activity is required for alginate production in Pseudomonas aeruginosa, an algLdelta::Gm(r) mutant (FRD-MA7) was created. algL complementation of FRD-MA7 restored alginate production, but algL constructs containing mutations inactivating lyase activity did not, demonstrating that the enzymatic activity of AlgL is required for alginate production.
