Abstract excerpt
The broad host range of Rhizobium sp. NGR234 is based mainly on its ability to secrete a family of lipooligosaccharide Nod factors. To monitor Nod-factor purification, we used the small seeded legume Macroptilium atropurpureum, which responds evenly and consistently to Nod factors. At concentrations between approximately equal to 10(-11) M and 10(-9) M, this response takes the form of deformation of the root...
