Role of the K-Antigen Subgroup of Capsular Polysaccharides in the Early Recognition Process Between Rhizobium meliloti and Alfalfa Leaves

We used a model system to investigate the induction of plant genes by bacterial surface compounds. We have infiltrated alfalfa leaves with wild-type Rhizobium meliloti strain Rm41 and mutant derivatives, which are deficient in the production of exopolysaccharides (EPS), capsular K-polysaccharides (K...
