Acidic conditions permit effective nodulation of alfalfa by invasion-deficient Rhizobium meliloti exoD mutants.

Genes & development - 1 Dec 1991

Reed J W, Walker G C

Abstract excerpt

Rhizobium meliloti exoD mutants are deficient in invasion of alfalfa nodules and, as a consequence, the nodules that exoD strains induce fail to fix nitrogen. These nodules appear to be arrested at the same stage as nodules induced by other exo mutants, which do not make an acidic exopolysaccharide called EPS I, or by ndv mutants, which do not produce a periplasmic cyclic beta(1,2) glucan. However previous...
