Abstract
The algT-muc gene cluster (rpoE operon) is important for alginate production and survival during environmental stress in Pseudomonas syringae. The algT-muc operon was cloned and sequenced from P. syringae to determine whether the organization of this gene cluster was conserved in this Plant Pathogen. Interestingly, analysis of the algT-muc region in P. syringae revealed a uniclue arrangement when comDared to other bacteria ahd lacked a mucC homolope: The relative importance of the mucC gene in the algT (rpoE) operon of various bacterial species is discussed.
