Abstract excerpt
Mesorhizobium loti mutant 2213.1 derived from the wild-type strain NZP2213 by Tn5 mutagenesis showed impaired effectiveness of symbiosis with the host plant Lotus corniculatus (Turska-Szewczuk et al., 2007 Microbiol Res, in press). The inability of lipopolysaccharide (LPS) isolated from the mutant 2213.1 strain or de-O-acetylated LPS of the parental cells to inactivate phage A1 particles implicated alterations in...
