Abstract excerpt
The symbiosis between Mesorhizobium japonicum R7A and Lotus japonicus Gifu is an important model system for investigating the role of bacterial exopolysaccharides (EPS) in plant-microbe interactions. Previously, we showed that R7A exoB mutants that are affected at an early stage of EPS synthesis and in lipopolysaccharide (LPS) synthesis induce effective nodules on L. japonicus Gifu after a delay, whereas exoU...
