Abstract excerpt
Curdlan is a neutral linear exopolysaccharide produced by Agrobacterium spp. under nitrogen-limiting conditions. In this study, we explored the role of glnA in curdlan biosynthesis in Agrobacterium sp. CGMCC 11546. The curdlan production of the ΔglnA strain was impaired, decreasing by 93% compared with that of the wild-type strain after 96 h fermentation. Analysis of fermentation profiles revealed that cell...
