Abstract excerpt
Several Pseudomonas solanacearum strains which produced no detectable extracellular polysaccharide (EPS) in planta had been reported to remain highly virulent when tested at high inoculum concentrations (P. Xu, M. Iwata, S. Leong, and L. Sequeira, J. Bacteriol. 172:3946-3951, 1990; P. Xu, S. Leong, and L. Sequeira, J. Bacteriol. 170:617-622, 1988). Two of these mutants, KD700 and KD710, have now been molecularly...
