Abstract excerpt
Lactobacillus sakei strain 0-1 produces an exopolysaccharide (EPS) consisting of glucose and rhamnose in a ratio of 3:2. As part of a biochemical and molecular analysis of the EPS biosynthetic pathway in L. sakei strain 0-1, we have isolated a random set of EPS-negative mutants. Following treatme...
