Abstract excerpt
The stress protectant trehalose is synthesized in Acinetobacter baumannii from UPD-glucose and glucose-6-phosphase via the OtsA/OtsB pathway. Previous studies proved that deletion of otsB led to a decreased virulence, the inability to grow at 45°C and a slight reduction of growth at high salinities indicating that trehalose is the cause of these phenotypes. We have questioned this conclusion by producing ∆otsA...
