Synthesis of the Flavonoid-Induced Lipopolysaccharide of Rhizobium Sp. Strain NGR234 Requires Rhamnosyl Transferases Encoded by Genes rgpF and wbgA

In the presence of flavonoids, Rhizobium sp. strain NGR234 synthesizes a new lipopolysaccharide (LPS), characterized by a rhamnan O-antigen. The presence of this rhamnose-rich LPS is important for the establishment of competent symbiotic interactions between NGR234 and many species of leguminous pla...
