Abstract excerpt
The halotolerant Sinorhizobium meliloti strain Rmd201 and its variant Rmd201 a were examined for their cell surface properties. The variant strain formed rough colonies and was found to be more hydrophobic. Growth of the variant strain was not affected appreciably when NaCl concentration of the medium was increased from 2 mM to 700 mM. Exopolysaccharide (EPS) and the lipopolysaccharide (LPS) content of the...
