Abstract excerpt

The interaction between Azospirillum brasilense and plants is not fully understood, although several bacterial surface components like exopolysaccharides (EPS), flagella, and capsular polysaccharides are required for attachment and colonization. While in other plant-bacteria associations (Rhizobium-legume, Pseudomonas-potato), lipopolysaccharides (LPS) play a key role in the establishment of an effective...
