Abstract excerpt
Some mutants of Agrobacterium radiobacter, defective in exopolysaccharide synthesis, were phenotypically complemented by two different regions of cloned chromosomal DNA. One of these had been shown to contain a gene termed ros, a novel class of transcriptional regulator. The other contains a gene termed exoY which encodes a glycosyltransferase that is involved in one of the early steps in exopolysaccharide...
