Figure 2. Alginate molecular weight (MW) averages and polydispersity indices as determined by SEC-MALLS.

Figure 2

Alginate samples from strains grown on PIA medium containing 300 μg/ml of Carbenicillin and 0.5% (w/v) arabinose inducer were analysed by SEC-MALLS to determine their average molecular mass and polymer length distribution (polydispersity index = PI). PI values closer to 1.0 represent a narrow Mr distribution (i.e. homogenous Mr). Strains are identified as follows: WT = PDO300(pHERD20T); ΔalgL = PDO300ΔalgL(pHERD20T); ΔalgL + algL = PDO300ΔalgL(pHERD20T:algL), and ΔalgL + algLH202A = PDO300ΔalgL(pHERD20T:algLH202A).
