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...
