Abstract excerpt
The Rhizobium meliloti Tn5 mutant Rm3131, producing galactoglucan (EPS II) instead of succinoglycan (EPS I), was complemented by a 3.6-kb EcoRI-fragment of the Rhizobium meliloti genome. Sequencing of this fragment revealed six open reading frames (ORFs). The ORF found to be affected in the mutant Rm3131 codes for a putative protein of 15.7 kDa and forms a monocistronic transcriptional unit. Further genetic...
