Abstract

The cell surface of rhizobia is comprised of a number of polysaccharides; extracellular (EPSs), capsular (KPSs), and lipopolysaccharides (LPSs). Each is important in forming an effective nitrogen-fixing symbiosis. Defective mutants are unable to invade the host root cortical cells in a normal manner, or the infection thread is aborted prior to cortical cell invasion (1,2).
