Abstract excerpt
Two genes involved in central carbon metabolism were inactivated to modulate intracellular glucose 6-phosphate and to evaluate its effects on xanthan production in wild-type Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzae. Upon the inactivation of the phosphogluconate dehydratase gene (edd), intracellular glucose 6-phosphate increased from 0.05 to 1.17 mmol/g (dry cell wt). This was accompanied by increased xanthan production of...
