Abstract excerpt
Mucoid strains of Pseudomonas aeruginosa produce a high-molecular-weight exopolysaccharide called alginate that is modified by the addition of O-acetyl groups. To better understand the acetylation process, a gene involved in alginate acetylation called algF was identified in this study. We hypothesized that a gene involved in alginate acetylation would be located within the alginate biosynthetic gene cluster at...
