Genetics of xanthan production in Xanthomonas campestris: the xanA and xanB genes are involved in UDP-glucose and GDP-mannose biosynthesis.

abstract：:Multitrichously polar flagellated mutants were isolated from a monotrichously flagellated strain of Pseudomonas aeruginosa. The ability of the mutant cells to swarm in semisolid media at given gel strengths was increased by the multiflagellation. Observations of the mutant cells by electron microscopy revealed that th...
