B.S. galU
galU (ytdA) [Bacillus subtilis (strain 168)] Encodes UTP--glucose-1-phosphate uridylyltransferase that catalyzes the formation of UDP-glucose from glucose-1-phosphate and UTP in Bacillus subtilis.

Characterization
We cloned and confirmed the target fragment by PCR. The length of our fragment is 951bp. The following results showed the successful result.
the mRNA level of B.s GalU is ~2.4 fold higher than that of E.coli, indicating the significant improvement of enzyme expression and activity. However, due to the lower expression of another key enzyme PGM for EPS production in BE strain, the final EPS yield is lower than that of EE strain but still comparable.
