wssF gene from wss operon

wssF is one of the four genes isolated from Pseudomonas fluorescens responsible for acetylating cellulose (the others being wssG-I, K149001-3). The wss operon contains 10 genes responsible for biofilm production in P. fluorescens, which allows the bacterium to colonize the air-liquid interface. Many of these genes have homologies in E. coli or G. hansenii, including minD, subunits of cellulose synthase, and a cellulase. Only four of the genes (wssF-I), however, are responsible for the acetylation of the cellulose polymer.
