Abstract:Analisi genetica dei livelli di acetilazione dell'esopolisaccaride prodotto da Burkholderia cepacia SUMMARY Bacteria belonging to the Burkholderia cepacia complex are mainly isolated from the sputum of cystic fibrosis patients and frequently show a mucoid phenotype. Most of them produce an exopolysaccharide called cepacian, whose repeating unit consists of a branched heptasaccharide carrying from one to three acetyl esters. Two genetic loci, bceI and bceII, consisting of 11 and 9 genes respectively, are involv… Show more
