Antifreeze proteins in polar sea ice diatoms: diversity and gene expression in the genus Fragilariopsis.

abstract：:The common polysaccharide antigen (CPA) of the lipopolysaccharide (LPS) from Pseudomonas syringae is highly variable, but the genetic basis for this is poorly understood. We have characterized the CPA locus from P. syringae pv. actinidiae (Psa). This locus has genes for l- and d-rhamnose biosynthesis and an operon cod...
