Abstract excerpt
Rhizobium meliloti produces an acidic exopolysaccharide, termed succinoglycan or EPS I, that is important for invasion of the nodules that it elicits on its host, Medicago sativa. Succinoglycan is a high-molecular-weight polymer composed of repeating octasaccharide subunits. These subunits are synthesized on membrane-bound isoprenoid lipid carriers, beginning with a galactose residue followed by seven glucose...
