Abstract:
Summary Two auxotrophic mutants ofRhizobium trifolii which are deficient in nodulating ability have been isolated. Both mutants (strain RS 164 His– and strain RS213 Leu–) appear to synthesize abnormal extracellular polysaccharides as compared with the wild type strain RS 55. Simultaneous recovery of nodulating ability and wild type polysaccharide composition has been found in a Leu+ revertant of strain RS 213.Abbreviation EPS
