Abstract
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.
