syrM Is Involved in the Determination of the Amount and Ratio of the Two Forms of the Acidic Exopolysaccharide EPSI in Rhizobium meliloti
For the invasion of root nodule cells of alfalfa by its symbiotic partner Rhizobium meliloti, the bacterial succinoglycan (EPSI) is required. Nitrogen starvation of R. meliloti results in a considerable increase of EPSI production. We have shown that the presence of nitrogen also altered the ratio o...
