MucR and MucS Activate exp Genes Transcription and Galactoglucan Production in Sinorhizobium meliloti EFB1
When grown under standard conditions, Sinorhizobium meliloti EFB1 simultaneously produces two acidic exopolysaccharides, succinoglycan and galactoglucan, yielding very mucoid colonies. In this strain, MucR is essential for galactoglucan synthesis. A mutation in the mucS gene resulted in less mucoid...
