Role of Exopolysaccharides of Rhizobium leguminosarum bv. viciae as Host Plant-Specific Molecules Required for Infection Thread Formation During Nodulation of Vicia sativa

Mutants of Rhizobium leguminosarum bv. viciae bacteria that are affected in the biosynthesis of exopolysaccharides (EPS) are unable to effectively nodulate their host plants. By studying defined mutants, we show that R. legumi-nosarum bv. viciae strains require EPS for formation of infection threads...
