Alginate Biosynthesis in Azotobacter vinelandii: Overview of Molecular Mechanisms in Connection with the Oxygen Availability

Figure 4

Genetic structure genes involved in alginate biosynthesis and modification in Azotobacter vinelandii. Gene operon for alginate biosynthesis algD-A, and algC gene is transcribed separately; alyA1–3 and alyB alginate lyases encoding genes, and algE1–7 the epimerases genes.
