Homologous Over-Expression of Chain Length Determination Protein EpsC Increases the Molecular Weight of Exopolysaccharide in Streptococcus thermophilus 05-34

In Streptococcus thermophilus, EpsC is a polysaccharide co-polymerase which is involved in determining the chain length of EPS synthesized by the Wzx/Wzy-dependent pathway. Our previous study found that there was a positive correlation between transcription level of epsC and molecular weight of EPS...
