Abstract excerpt
The Pseudomonas aeruginosa exopolysaccharide alginate is an important virulence factor in chronic pulmonary infections of cystic fibrosis patients. We determined the nucleotide sequence of the gene, algB, which regulates the level of exopolysaccharide produced by mucoid P. aeruginosa. The predicted amino acid sequence of AlgB revealed a high degree of similarity to the regulatory proteins in the NtrC subclass of...
