✦ Synopsis
In addition
to cellular glycogen and an acidic exopolysaccharide of high molecular weight, Rhizobium mefifoti (5 strains) produces a cyclic (1+2)-p-D-glucan (d.p. -20) that accumulates in the cells, and a pyruvylated and succinylated octasaccharide that is excreted into the medium. The octasaccharide has the same structural elements as the high-molecular-weight exopolysaccharide and is considered to be the repeating unit of this polysaccharide.
