New Mobilizable Vectors Suitable for Gene Replacement in Gram-Negative Bacteria and Their Use in Mapping of the 39 End of the Xanthomonas campestris pv. campestris gum Operon
نویسندگان
چکیده
We describe useful vectors to select double-crossover events directly in site-directed marker exchange mutagenesis in gram-negative bacteria. These vectors contain the gusA marker gene, providing colorimetric screens to identify bacteria harboring those sequences. The applicability of these vectors was shown by mapping the 3* end of the Xanthomonas campestris gum operon, involved in biosynthesis of xanthan.

متن کاملXanthomonas campestris pv. campestris gum mutants: effects on xanthan biosynthesis and plant virulence.
Xanthan is an industrially important exopolysaccharide produced by the phytopathogenic, gram-negative bacterium Xanthomonas campestris pv. campestris. It is composed of polymerized pentasaccharide repeating units which are assembled by the sequential addition of glucose-1-phosphate, glucose, mannose, glucuronic acid, and mannose on a polyprenol phosphate carrier (L. Ielpi, R. O. Couso, and M. A...
متن کاملMechanism of bacitracin resistance in gram-negative bacteria that synthesize exopolysaccharides.
Four representative species from three genera of gram-negative bacteria that secrete exopolysaccharides acquired resistance to the antibiotic bacitracin by stopping synthesis of the exopolysaccharide. Xanthomonas campestris, Sphingomonas strains S-88 and NW11, and Escherichia coli K-12 secrete xanthan gum, sphingans S-88 and NW11, and colanic acid, respectively. The gumD gene in X. campestris i...
متن کاملUse of Date Syrup as Agricultural Waste for Xanthan Production by Xanthomonas campestris
Xanthomonas campestris was used for producing xanthan gum using date syrup, prepared from low quality dates, as a substrate. Fermentation was carried out with date syrup and sucrose syrup at 28 ˚C and pH 6.8 in a rotary benmarin shaker (240 rpm). The effect of fermentation period (24, 48, 72, 96 and 120 h) on xanthan gum production was studied. The results showed that EPS concentration increase...
