Rhizobium leguminosarum bv. viciae strain VF39 synthesizes an acidic exopolysaccharide, which is necessary to establish nitrogen-fixing symbiosis with Pisum sativum, Vicia faba, and Vicia sativa. This exopolysaccharide is a polymer of an octasaccharide repeating unit consisting of a backbone of two glucose and two glucuronic acid residues, a side chain of three glucose and one gaThe pssM gene encodes ketal pyruvate transferase, which is responsible for pyruvylation of subterminal glucose in the EPS repeating unit |
