Abstract excerpt
Bradyrhizobium japonicum synthesizes periplasmic cyclic beta-(1-->3),beta-(1-->6)-D-glucans during growth in hypoosmotic environments, and evidence is growing that these molecules may have a specific function during plant-microbe interactions in addition to osmoregulation. Site-directed Tn5 mutagenesis of the DNA region upstream of ndvB resulted in identification of a new gene (ndvC) involved in beta-(1--> 3),...
