The acetyl substituent of succinoglycan is not necessary for alfalfa nodule invasion by Rhizobium meliloti Rm1021

T L Reuber et al. J Bacteriol. 1993 Jun.

Abstract

Rhizobium meliloti Rm1021 requires a Calcofluor-binding exopolysaccharide, termed succinoglycan or EPS I, to invade alfalfa nodules. We have determined that a strain carrying a mutation in the exoZ locus produces succinoglycan that lacks the acetyl substituent. The exoZ mutant nodules alfalfa normally.
