Abstract excerpt
Seaweed alginate was acetylated by resting cells of Pseudomonas syringae subsp. phaseolicola ATCC 19304. Physiological studies on this strain and its UV-induced mutants showed no correlation between bacterial alginate biosynthesis and acetylation. Specific yields of alginate and degree of acetylation in these polymers varied with strain and culture medium. This was indirect evidence that alginate biosynthesis is...
