Abstract
The present invention provides isolated and purified polynucleotides that encode bacterial polypeptides that participate in the utilization of sucrose. Isolated bacterial sucrose synthase compositions and methods of use are provided. Processes for altering sucrose synthase activity, altering the starch and/or sucrose content of bacterial and/or plant cells, methods of identifying sucrose synthase-encoding nucleic acid segments, and compositions comprising sucrose synthase peptides and antibodies are also disclosed.
