Alginate Lyase (AlgL) Activity Is Required for Alginate Biosynthesis in Pseudomonas aeruginosa
View through CrossRef
ABSTRACT
To determine whether AlgL's lyase activity is required for alginate production in
Pseudomonas aeruginosa
, an
algLΔ
::Gm
r
mutant (FRD-MA7) was created.
algL
complementation of FRD-MA7 restored alginate production, but
algL
constructs containing mutations inactivating lyase activity did not, demonstrating that the enzymatic activity of AlgL is required for alginate production.
