Identification of the algZ gene upstream of the response regulator algR and its participation in control of alginate production in Pseudomonas aeruginosa.

Abstract excerpt

Alginate production in mucoid Pseudomonas aeruginosa isolates from cystic fibrosis patients is under direct control by AlgU, the P. aeruginosa equivalent of the extreme heat shock sigma factor sigma(E) in gram-negative bacteria, and AlgR, a response regulator from the superfamily of two-component signal transduction systems. In this report, we describe the identification of the algZ gene, located immediately...
