Abstract excerpt
In addition to the exopolysaccharide succinoglycan, Rhizobium meliloti can produce a galactoglucan exopolysaccharide, EPS II. The production of EPS II occurs in certain mutant strains, in strains containing extra copies of EPS II synthesis genes, or in the wild-type strain under phosphate-limiting conditions. We have identified a gene, mucS, that is in a locus required for EPS II induction by extra gene copies...
