Biosynthesis of the repeating units of the exopolysaccharides amylovoran from Erwinia amylovora and stewartan from Pantoea stewartii
2011-04-01
Abstract excerpt
The causative agent of fire blight, Erwinia amylovora, synthesizes the exopolysaccharide (EPS) amylovoran, an important pathogenicity factor. Similarly, Pantoea stewartii, needs the related exopolysaccharide, stewartan, to cause Stewart’s bacterial wilt of sweet maize. These acidic complex EPSs mask the recognition of the pathogens E. amylovora and P. stewartii by plant defense reactions and promote bacterial grow...
