Role of the O-Antigen of Lipopolysaccharide, and Possible Roles of Growth Rate and of NADH:ubiquinone Oxidoreductase (nuo) in Competitive Tomato Root-Tip Colonization by Pseudomonas fluorescens WCS365

Colonization-defective, transposon-induced mutants of the efficient root colonizer Pseudomonas fluorescens WCS365 were identified with a gnotobiotic system. Most mutants were impaired in known colonization traits, i.e., prototrophy for amino acids, motility, and synthesis of the O-antigen of LPS (li...
