Tyrosine Kinase Self-Phosphorylation Controls Exopolysaccharide Biosynthesis in <i>Gluconacetobacter diazotrophicus</i> Strain Pal5

The biosynthesis of exopolysaccharides (EPSs) is essential for endophytic bacterial colonisation in plants bacause this exopolymer both protects bacterial cells against the defence and oxidative systems of plants and acts on the plant colonisation mechanism in <i>Gluconacetobacter diazotrophic...
