Characterisation of a gene encoding a membrane protein that affects exopolysaccharide production and intracellular Mg2+ concentrations in Ensifer meliloti.

FEMS microbiology letters - 1 Apr 2017

Hawkins Justin P, Oresnik Ivan J

Abstract excerpt

Exopolysaccharides play an important role in the physiology of a bacterial cell. Ensifer meliloti is capable of producing at least two types of exopolysaccharides (EPS): succinoglycan and galactoglucan. In E. meliloti, EPS are best known for their role in mediating interaction with its symbiotic hosts. It was previously shown that high concentrations of Mg2+ or K+ were capable of suppressing the mucoid phenotype...
