Woolwine S C, Wozniak D J
Abstract excerpt
Strains of Pseudomonas aeruginosa isolated from the respiratory tracts of patients with cystic fibrosis often display a mucoid morphology due to high levels of expression of the exopolysaccharide alginate. The response regulator AlgB is required for full transcription of the alginate biosynthetic...
