α-Glucan and alginate biosynthesis are stimulated by global carbon storage regulators and surface association. (A) 1H-NMR spectra for Pst wild type (WT; blue), ΔtreS (pink), ΔtreY/Z (green), and a double mutant ΔtreS ΔtreY/Z (purple). Peaks corresponding to key metabolites are labelled: maltose 1-phosphate (M1P), α-glucan (α-1,4), α-1,1-probable terminal linkage of maltooligosyltrehalose (trehalose). (B) qRT–PCR analysis of polysaccharide genes in WT Pst grown on KB agar (solid) versus KB liquid (liquid). Values represented are means ±SD with n=2 (three technical replicates each). Significance was determined by Student’s t-test (∗∗∗∗P<0.0001. (C) 1H-NMR spectra for the Pst PglgA-lacZ reporter strain and selected glgA regulatory Tn mutants. Peaks corresponding to key metabolites are labelled as in (A).
