Abstract excerpt
To study the importance of arginine provision and phosphate limitation for synthesis and accumulation of cyanophycin (CGP) in Acinetobacter sp. strain ADP1, genes encoding the putative arginine regulatory protein (argR) and the arginine succinyltransferase (astA) were inactivated, and the effects of these mutations on CGP synthesis were analyzed. The inactivation of these genes resulted in a 3.5- or 7-fold...
