Azotobacter vinelandii produces the exopolysaccharide alginate, which is essential for the encystment process. In Pseudomonas aeruginosa, as well as in A. vinelandii, the sigmaE factor encoded by algU is required for transcription of algD, which encodes a key enzyme of the alginate biosynthetic pathway. The P. aeruginosa response regulator AlgR activates transcription of algD. fimS, located upstream algR, is...
