Bacterial lipopolysaccharides and plant-pathogen interacftions
2001-01-01
Abstract excerpt
Lipopolysaccharides are amphipathic molecules forming the outermost layer of the cell surface of Gram-negative bacteria. They are essential for protecting the cell from hostile environments and, in the case of pathogens, they play a direct role in interactions with eukaryotic host cells. Mutants with altered lipopolysaccharide structure have been obtained with several plant pathogenic bacteria; such mutants genera...
