The Sigma Factor AlgU Regulates Exopolysaccharide Production and Nitrogen-Fixing Biofilm Formation by Directly Activating the Transcription of <i>pslA</i> in <i>Pseudomonas stutzeri</i> A1501

The Sigma Factor AlgU Regulates Exopolysaccharide Production and Nitrogen-Fixing Biofilm Formation by Directly Activating the Transcription of <i>pslA</i> in <i>Pseudomonas stutzeri</i> A1501

<i>Pseudomonas stutzeri</i> A1501, a plant-associated diazotrophic bacterium, prefers to conform to a nitrogen-fixing biofilm state under nitrogen-deficient conditions. The extracytoplasmic function (ECF) sigma factor AlgU is reported to play key roles in exopolysaccharide (EPS) producti...
