Iron-Regulated Expression of Alginate Production, Mucoid Phenotype, and Biofilm Formation by <named-content content-type="genus-species">Pseudomonas aeruginosa</named-content>

ABSTRACT Pseudomonas aeruginosa strains of non-cystic fibrosis (non-CF) origin do not produce significant amounts of extracellular alginate and are nonmucoid. In CF, such isolates can become mucoid through mutation of one of the genes (mucA, mucB, mucC, or mucD) that produce regulatory factors that...
