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 conversi...
