Abstract

Background Rhizobial surface polysaccharides are important molecular determinants required for successful symbiosis with legumes. In Sinorhizobium (Ensifer) meliloti Rm41, the rkp-2 region is involved in the biosynthesis of K-antigen polysaccharide (KPS) and lipopolysaccharide (LPS). This region is composed of two genes, lpsL and rkpK, which are respectively responsible for the production of galacturonic and glucuronic acid.
