Abstract excerpt
Although the role that lipopolysaccharide (LPS) plays in the symbiosis between Sinorhizobium meliloti and alfalfa has been studied for over a decade, its function in this process remains controversial and poorly understood. This is largely due to a lack of mutants affected by its synthesis. In one of the definitive studies concerning this issue, Clover et al. (R. H. Clover, J. Kieber, and E. R. Signer, J....
