Abstract excerpt
The study of alginate biosynthesis, the exopolysaccharide produced by Azotobacter vinelandii and Pseudomonas aeruginosa, might lead to different biotechnological applications. Here we report the cloning of A. vinelandii algA, the gene coding for the bifunctional enzyme phosphomannose isomerase-gu...
