Function of Succinoglycan Polysaccharide in <named-content content-type="genus-species">Sinorhizobium meliloti</named-content> Host Plant Invasion Depends on Succinylation, Not Molecular Weight
ABSTRACT The acidic polysaccharide succinoglycan produced by the rhizobial symbiont Sinorhizobium meliloti 1021 is required for this bacterium to invade the host plant Medicago truncatula and establish a nitrogen-fixing symbiosis. S. meliloti mutants that cannot make succinoglycan cannot initiate in...
