Regulatory mutations affecting the synthesis of pectate lyase in Xanthomonas campestris
Abstract
Four classes of Xanthomonas campestris mutants were identified with respect to pectate lyase. Pectate lyase production in the wild-type and classes I and IIb mutants was partially dependent on the growth-phase whereas in classes IIa and III it was totally dependent. Enzyme activity in some of the mutants was constitutive and resistant to catabolite repression.
