Sinorhizobium fredii HH103 rkp-3 Genes Are Required for K-Antigen Polysaccharide Biosynthesis, Affect Lipopolysaccharide Structure and Are Essential for Infection of Legumes Forming Determinate Nodules

The Sinorhizobium fredii HH103 rkp-3 region has been isolated and sequenced. Based on the similarities between the S. fredii HH103 rkpL, rkpM, rkpN, rkpO, rkpP, and rkpQ genes and their corresponding orthologues in Helicobacter pylori, we propose a possible pathway for the biosynthesis of the S. fre...
