Different phenotypic classes of Sinorhizobium meliloti mutants defective in synthesis of K antigen.

Journal of bacteriology - 1 Oct 1998

Campbell G R, Reuhs B L, Walker G C

Abstract excerpt

For Sinorhizobium meliloti (also known as Rhizobium meliloti) AK631 to establish effective symbiosis with alfalfa, it must be able to synthesize a symbiotically active form of its K antigen, a capsular polysaccharide containing a Kdo (3-deoxy-D-manno-octulosonic acid) derivative. Previously isolated mutants defective in the synthesis of K antigen are resistant to bacteriophage phi16-3. By screening ca. 100,000...
