Glucose stimulates alginate production and algD transcription in Pseudomonas aeruginosa.
A previous study [DeVault et al. (1991) Mol. Microbiol. 5, 2503-2509] suggested that growth of Pseudomonas aeruginosa in glucose-containing medium represses algD gene transcription. In this study, growth of P. aeruginosa in rich medium containing glucose or gluconate increased alginate production and algD transcription at concentrations ranging from 1 to 5%.
