Exopolysaccharide Carbohydrate Structure and Biofilm Formation by <i>Rhizobium leguminosarum</i> bv. <i>trifolii</i> Strains Inhabiting Nodules of <i>Trifolium</i><i>repens</i> Growing on an Old Zn–Pb–Cd-Polluted Waste Heap Area

Heavy metals polluting the 100-year-old waste heap in Bolesław (Poland) are acting as a natural selection factor and may contribute to adaptations of organisms living in this area, including <i>Trifolium repens</i> and its root nodule microsymbionts—rhizobia. Exopolysaccharides (EPS), ex...
