Abstract excerpt
Azotobacter vineladii is a Gram-negative bacterium that produces alginate and poly-hydroxybutyrate (PHB), two polymers of biotechnological interest. This bacterium has the ability to form desiccation-resistant cysts. In the cyst the membrane phospholipids are replaced with a family of phenolic lipids called alkylresorcinols (ARs). The alginate, PHB, and ARs are controlled by the GacS/A two-component system and...
