Abstract excerpt

Mutants of alfalfa symbiont Rhizobium meliloti SU47 that fail to make extracellular polysaccharide (exo mutants) induce the formation of nodules that are devoid of bacteria and consequently do not fix nitrogen. This Fix- phenotype can be suppressed by an R. meliloti Rm41 gene that affects lipopol...
