Exopolysaccharide Production in Response to Medium Acidification Is Correlated With an Increase in Competition for Nodule Occupancy
Sinorhizobium meliloti strains unable to utilize galactose as a sole carbon source, due to mutations in the De-Ley Doudoroff pathway (dgoK), were previously shown to be more competitive for nodule occupancy. In this work, we show that strains carrying this mutation have galactose-dependent exopolysa...
