  • Title: Characterization of the lipopolysaccharide from the nod mutant of Rhizobium trifolii.
    Author: Russa R, Urbanik T, Lorkiewicz Z.
    Journal: Acta Microbiol Pol; 1983; 32(1):25-30. PubMed ID: 6194662.
    Abstract:
    Lipopolysaccharides (LPS) from the non-nodulating Rhizobium trifolii 24SM 15 and from the nodulating R. trifolii 24SM 13 were isolated and examined by means of gas-liquid chromatography and mass spectrometry. Analysis of LPS showed these preparations from both strains examined contained Lipid A, 2-keto-3-deoxyoctonate, neutral sugars, amino sugars, and trace amounts of amino acids. In 24SM 13 LPS prevailed glucose and rhamnose whereas LPS from the non-nodulating strain SM 15 contained mainly mannose, galactose and heptose. Quinovosamine and mannosamine were detected only in the nodulating strain. The ratio of glucosamine phosphate to glucosamine was higher in the LPS of the non-nodulating strain SM 15 than in the corresponding material of the nodulating one. An unknown component producing a peak at the position of glyceryl-S-cysteine on amino acid analysis profiles was detected in SM 15 LPS. The differences in LPS composition were associated with the alterations in the sensitivity to phage 3H, and nodulation ability.
