Abstract excerpt
Ralstonia solanacearum is the causal agent of bacterial wilt of many agriculturally important crops. Exopolysaccharide synthesized by products of the epsI operon is the major virulence factor for R. solanacearum. Expression of epsI has been demonstrated to be under the control of several proteins...
