Abstract excerpt

With the original aim of surveying the role of exopolysaccharide (EPS) in Lotus-Mesorhizobium symbiosis, we carried out Tn5 mutagenesis of Mesorhizobium loti and obtained 32 mutants with defects in EPS biosynthesis. One of the mutants, HIA22, formed pseudonodules and failed to fix nitrogen with Lotus japonicus. However, complementation analysis unexpectedly revealed that the potential gene with the locus tag,...
