Investigation of the role of ZurR in the physiology and pathogenesis of Listeria monocytogenes.

abstract：:Amylosucrase produces an insoluble alpha-1,4-linked glucan from sucrose, releasing fructose. In addition to polymerisation, in the presence of sucrose as sole substrate, amylosucrase catalyses sucrose hydrolysis and oligosaccharide synthesis in significant proportions. The effects of both glycogen acceptor and sucrose...
