Abstract excerpt
The biochemical mechanism by which alpha-L-guluronate (G) residues are incorporated into alginate by Pseudomonas aeruginosa is not understood. P. aeruginosa first synthesizes GDP-mannuronate, which is used to incorporate beta-D-mannuronate residues into the polymer. It is likely that the conversion of some beta-D-mannuronate residues to G occurs by the action of a C-5 epimerase at either the monomer (e.g.,...
