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.

Repeated attempts to demonstrate a direct interaction between AlgB and the promoter region of algD, the first...
