Abstract excerpt
Rhizobium meliloti SU47 and Rhizobium sp. strain NGR234 produce distinct exopolysaccharides that have some similarities in structure. R. meliloti has a narrow host range, whereas Rhizobium strain NGR234 has a very broad host range. In cross-species complementation and hybridization experiments, we found that several of the genes required for the production of the two polysaccharides were functionally...
