Abstract excerpt

Colanic acid (CA) is a group I extracellular polysaccharide (EPS) that contributes to resistance against adverse environments in many members of the Enterobacteriaceae. In the present study, a genetic locus EPSC putatively involved in CA biosynthesis was identified in Vibrio alginolyticus ZJ-51, which undergoes colony morphology variation between translucent/smooth (ZJ-T) and opaque/rugose (ZJ-O). EPSC in ZJ-T...
