The Escherichia coli genes sspA and rnk can functionally replace the Pseudomonas aeruginosa alginate regulatory gene algR2.

Molecular microbiology - 1 Apr 1995

Abstract excerpt

The algR2 (also known as algQ) gene of Pseudomonas aeruginosa has previously been identified as being necessary for alginate production at 37 degrees C. We have cloned two genes, from a cosmid library of Escherichia coli, which can restore mucoidy to an algR2 mutant of P. aeruginosa. The complementing regions of both cosmids were localized by subcloning restriction fragments. One of the E. coli genes identified...
