Abstract excerpt
Pseudomonas solanacearum undergoes a spontaneous mutation that pleiotropically reduces extracellular polysaccharide (EPS) production, endoglucanase activity, and virulence and increases motility. We refer to the process that coordinately affects these traits as phenotype conversion (PC) and the resulting mutants as PC types. Previous research with the wild-type strain AW1 suggested that inactivation of a single...
