Abstract excerpt
Extracellular polysaccharide (EPS) has long been regarded as one of the most important factors involved in wilting of plants by Pseudomonas solanacearum. By means of transposon Tn5 mutagenesis, we have isolated a class of mutants that have an afluidal colony morphology but retain the ability to c...
