title: Insights into the ropy phenotype of the exopolysaccharide-producing strain Bifidobacterium animalis subsp. lactis A1dOxR.
abstract: The proteome of the ropy strain Bifidobacterium animalis subsp. lactis A1dOxR, compared to that of its nonropy isogenic strain, showed an overproduction of a protein involved in rhamnose biosynthesis. Results were confirmed by gene expression analysis, and this fact agreed with the high rhamnose content of the ropy exopolysaccharide.
