Inhalt
- Background
- Results and discussion
- The genetic background of three X. campestris pv. campestris B100 strains carrying mutated genes involved in the biosynthesis of the LPS O-antigen
- Biochemical analysis of three X. campestris pv. campestris B100 mutant strains revealed a missing O-antigen for Xcc H21012 (wxcB) and a modified O-antigen for Xcc H20110 (wxcN) and Xcc H28110 (wxcK)
- Xanthan production of X. campestris pv. campestris B100 mutants characterized by a missing or modified O-antigen
- The influence of a missing or a modified LPS O-antigen on the xanthan biosynthesis in X. campestris pv. campestris B100
