β¦ Synopsis
The extracellular polysaccharide (EPS) produced by E. chrysanthemi pv. zeae strain SR260, a strain pathogenic to corn, has a branched hexasaccharide repeat unit consisting of a glucomannorhamnan backbone [ ---, 3)-/3-D-Glcp-( 1 ---, 4) -t~-D-Manp-( 1 ---, 3)-t~-L-Rhap-(1 ~ ] and a trisacchadde side-chain [C~-L-Rhap-(1---,3)-~-L-Rhap-(1---,4)?-GlcAp-( 1 ~ ] attached to 0-3 of the mannose in the backbone [ 1 ]. All the anomeric configurations, except that of the rhamnosyl-glucosyluronic linkage in the side chain, were unambiguously assigned by a combination of 1 and 2D NMR spectroscopy. The tentative assignment of the rhamnosyl-ghcosyluronic glycosyl linkage as Ot-L is now proven.

Cosmids carrying a rec gene of the Erwinia chrysanthemi strain B 374 were identified in a genomic library constructed by Reverchon et al. (1985). One of them was mutagenized with transposon Tnl and the rec: : T n l mutation was introduced into the B 374 chromosome, providing the first rec-less E. ch
A DNA fragment containing the cya gene region ofErwinia chrysanthemi, B374 was cloned in vivo and transferred into cells of E. coli using a plasmid pULB113 derived from RP4 followed by subcloning in vitro into the vector pBR322. The cya gene encodes a 95 kDal protein that complemented E. coli cya mu
