The periplasmic cyclic beta-1,2-glucans produced by bacteria within the Rhizobiaceae family provide functions during hypo-osmotic adaptation and plant infection. In Rhizobium meliloti, these molecules are highly modified with phosphoglycerol and succinyl substituents, and it is possible that the anionic character of these glucans is important for their functions. In the present study, we have used a thin-layer...
