Expression of the gum Operon Directing Xanthan Biosynthesis in Xanthomonas campestris and Its Regulation In Planta

The gum gene cluster of Xanthomonas campestris pv. campestris comprises 12 genes whose products are involved in the biosynthesis of the extracellular polysaccharide xanthan. These genes are expressed primarily as an operon from a promoter upstream of the first gene, gumB. Although the regulation of...
