Lipopolysaccharide Precursor Mutants Disrupt Unipolar Polysaccharide Adhesin Synthesis and Cell Surface Functions in <i>Agrobacterium tumefaciens</i>
2026-06-02
Abstract excerpt
Agrobacterium tumefaciens is a facultative phytopathogen and causative agent of crown gall disease, capable of attaching to surfaces via a polarly localized unipolar polysaccharide (UPP) adhesin. The UPP is composed of two distinct forms, one characterized by N -acetylglucosamine residues (UPP GlcN ) and the other by N -acetylgalactosamine residues (UPP GalN ). Two genes with presumptive roles in dTDP-L-rhamno...
