Abstract excerpt
Streptococcus equi subsp. zooepidemicus is known to produce a hyaluronic acid capsule to resist the host immune defense. As the structure of the polysaccharide is identical to the one produced by humans, the bacteria S. equi subsp. zooepidemicus is used in biotechnological production of hyaluronic acid. In our laboratory we prepared mutated strains that are beta-glucuronidase deficient. Comparing the wild-type...
