摘要
High osmolarity in the culture medium of growing Agrobacterium tumefaciens strongly inhibited the accumulation of cellular β(1-2) glucan. However, the enzymatic system required for the synthesis of this polysaccharide from UDP-glucose was not repressed by high osmolarity. Mutants of A. tumefaciens and Rhizobium meliloti affected in β(1-2) glucan synthesis were unable to grow normally in low-osmolarity media.
