---|---|---|
malfunction | from the biochemical analysis of a defined set of Xanthomonas campestris gum mutants, experimental data are reported for assigning functions to the products of the gum genes. Inactivation of gumD completely abolishes in vitro polymer formation. The gumD- mutant is the unique mutant strain, generated in a wild-type background, that shows no released labeled oligosaccharides when permeabilized cells are labeled with UDP-[14C]glucose. Cells labeled with UDP-[14C]glucuronic acid or GDP-[14C]mannose show similar results. The C-terminal portion of GumD is cloned into broad-host-range vector pRK404, producing plasmid pCD2. This plasmid complements the xanthan defect in the XcD strain, rendering mucoid colonies | Xanthomonas campestris |
