Xanthomonas campestris pv. campestris gum mutants: Effects on xanthan biosynthesis and plant virulence
Xanthan is an industrially important exopolysaccharide produced by the phytopathogenic, gram-negative bacterium Xanthomonas campestris pv. campestris. It is composed of polymerized pentasaccharide repeating malts which are assembled by the sequential addition of glucose-1-phosphate, glucose, mannose...
