Role of Agrobacterium cell envelope lipopolysaccharide in infection site attachment

M H Whatley et al. Infect Immun. 1976 Apr.

Abstract

Lipopolysaccharide (LPS) isolated from Agrobacterium tumefaciens inhibited tumor induction by virulent bacteria. LPS from site-binding strains was not effective if added to the plant wound shortly after the bacteria, and LPS from avirulent, non-site-binding strains of Agrobacterium was not inhibitory regardless of the order of addition. However, LPS and whole cells of avirulent strains NT1 and IIBNV6, which lack of Agrobacterim virulence plasmid, were inhibitory. Chromosomal deoxyribonucleic acid thus determines specificity of this essential component of the Agrobacterium infection process.
