Abstract excerpt
The authors previously isolated a lipopolysaccharide (LPS) deficient Tn5-mutant of Bradyrhizobium japonicum, and subsequently isolated the LPS gene region. In this study the LPS deficiency of B. japonicum was studied in terms of its cell surface characteristics. By monitoring the kinetics of the partition with hexadecane the LPS-mutant was found to be far more hydrophobic than the wild type strain; the partition...
