Abstract excerpt
Here the putative alginate biosynthesis gene alg44 of Pseudomonas aeruginosa was functionally assigned. Non-polar isogenic alg44 deletion mutants of P. aeruginosa were generated and did neither produce alginate nor released free uronic acids. No evidence for alginate enrichment in the periplasm was obtained. Alginate production was restored by introducing only the gene alg44. PhoA fusion protein analyses...
