High impact information on glgA1

Glycogen synthase mutations were constructed by in-frame deletion (glgA1) or insertion (glgA2) [1].
Exopolysaccharide (EPS) was not detected in any of the phbC mutants, while the glgA1 and glgA2 mutants produced levels of EPS similar to the wild-type [1].

Other interactions of glgA1

PHB levels were significantly lower in the glgA1 mutant, while glycogen levels were increased in the phbC mutant [1].
