Lineage
Bacteria; Pseudomonadati; Pseudomonadota; Gammaproteobacteria; Enterobacterales; Enterobacteriaceae; Escherichia
Also known as
ECK4020
Summary
Overexpression of the yjbEFGH operon alters colony morphology and leads to production of a novel extracellular polysaccharide (Ferrieres, 2007). yjbG and ymcB are paralogs. [More information is available at EcoGene: EG11925]. Overexpression of yjbEFGH alters colony morphology and leads to increased binding of toluidine blue-O and Congo red, indicating increased production of an EPS that is distinct from colanic acid . [More information is available at EcoCyc: EG11925].
