Genetic analysis of a cluster of genes required for synthesis of the calcofluor-binding exopolysaccharide of Rhizobium meliloti.

Rhizobium meliloti produces an acidic, Calcofluor-binding exopolysaccharide which plays a role in nodulation of alfalfa plants by this bacterium. We constructed and mapped 102 transposon insertions in a 48-kilobase (kb) region previously shown to contain several exo genes. Mutations affecting produc...
