The small envelope protein MucE and the sensor kinase KinB are a positive and negative alginate regulator, respectively. Here, we announce the draft genome sequences of the alginate-overproducing variants Pseudomonas aeruginosa PAO1-VE2 (PAO1 with constitutive expression of mucE) and PAO1-VE13 (PAO1 with kinB inactivated). Both mutants were generated from a transposon mutagenesis screen.
