SINORHIZOBIUM TERANGA BV ACACIAE ORS1073 AND RHIZOBIUM SP STRAIN ORS1001, 2 DISTANTLY RELATED ACACIA-NODULATING STRAINS, PRODUCE SIMILAR NOD FACTORS THAT ARE O CARBAMOYLATED, N METHYLATED, AND MAINLY SULFATED
J. Lorquin et al., SINORHIZOBIUM TERANGA BV ACACIAE ORS1073 AND RHIZOBIUM SP STRAIN ORS1001, 2 DISTANTLY RELATED ACACIA-NODULATING STRAINS, PRODUCE SIMILAR NOD FACTORS THAT ARE O CARBAMOYLATED, N METHYLATED, AND MAINLY SULFATED, Journal of bacteriology, 179(9), 1997, pp. 3079-3083
We have determined the structures of Nod factors produced by strains r
epresentative of Sinorhizobium teranga bv. acaciae and the so-called c
luster U from the Rhizobium loti branch, two genetically different sym
bionts of particular Acacia species. Compounds from both strains were
found to be similar, i,e,, mainly sulfated, O carbamoylated, and N met
hylated, indicating a close relationship between host specificity and
Nod factor structure, regardless of the taxonomy of the bacterial symb
iont.
