Abstract excerpt
The bacterial gene nodE is the key determinant of host specificity in the Rhizobium leguminosarum-legume symbiosis and has been proposed to determined unique polyunsaturated fatty acyl moieties in chitolipooligosaccharides (CLOS) made by the bacterial symbiont. We evaluated nodE function by examining CLOS structures made by wild-type R. leguminosarum bv. trifolii ANU843, an isogenic nodE::Tn5 mutant, and a...
