Bacterial alginate biosynthesis – recent progress and future prospects
Abstract
The extracellular polysaccharide alginate has been widely associated with chronic Pseudomonas aeruginosa infections in the cystic fibrosis lung. However, it is clear that alginate biosynthesis is a more widespread phenomenon. Alginate plays a key role as a virulence factor of plant-pathogenic pseudomonads, in the formation of biofilms and with the encystment process of Azotobacter spp.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
