Abstract excerpt

Rhizobium leguminosarum is a plant-associated bacterium that can form a symbiotic relationship with leguminous plants. Rhizobia must respond to significantly different environments during their biphasic lifestyle. The cell envelope is an important cellular feature that must be able to adapt to changing environments. Mutations in rhizobial genes required for proper cell envelope development have been identified...
