Biosynthesis of a galactose- and galacturonic acid-containing polysaccharide in Rhizobium meliloti

Previous work showed that two different strains derived from a culture of Rhizobium meliloti 102F51 differed with respect to phage specificity, agglutinability by alfalfa seed lectin, and synthesis of a galactose-containing polysaccharide (R.A. Ugalde, J. Handelsman, and W.J. Brill, J. Bacteriol. 16...
