| Abstract: | Cosmid clones able to restore exopolysaccharide production in possibly insertion sequence element-induced surface mutants of Xanthomonas campestris pv. campestris were isolated. By fragment-specific Tn5-lac mutagenesis of one of the cosmids, pXCB1002, a new DNA region which is involved in exopolysaccharide biosynthesis and which is organized into at least 12 complementation groups was identified. |
