Alginate Biosynthesis in Azotobacter vinelandii: Overview of Molecular Mechanisms in Connection with the Oxygen Availability

Table 2

Molecular weight of alginate and relative gene expression of alg8 and algL with respect to the variations.

Specific oxygen uptake rate (mmol g^−1 h^−1)	1–5	5–10
Alginate molecular weight (kDa)	500–1350	480–870
algL gene expression (fold change)	Until 15	0.5–1.5
alg8 gene expression (fold change)	Until 9.0	1.0–2.0
