The alg8 and alg44 genes, which are required for alginate biosynthesis by Pseudomonas aeruginosa, are located in the alginate biosynthetic gene cluster between the algD and algE genes. The nucleotide sequence of these two genes is presented. Although the functions of the Alg8 and Alg44 proteins are not known, we believe that they may be involved in the polymerization of mannuronic acid residues to form alginate.
铜绿假单胞菌合成藻酸盐所需的alg8和alg44基因位于藻酸盐生物合成基因簇中algD和algE基因之间。给出了这两个基因的核苷酸序列。尽管Alg8和Alg44蛋白的功能尚不清楚，但我们认为它们可能参与甘露糖醛酸残基的聚合以形成藻酸盐。
