Abstract excerpt
The bacterium Azospirillum brasilense can swim and swarm owing to the work of polar and lateral flagella. Its major surface glycopolymers consist of lipopolysaccharides (LPS) and Calcofluor-binding polysaccharides (Cal+ phenotype). Motility and surface glycopolymers are important for the interactions of plant-associated bacteria with plants. The facultative plant endophyte A. brasilense Sp245 produces two...
