Non-nodulating mutant strains of Rhizobium japonicum lacked a surface antigen that was present on the wild type. This surface antigen is associated with the O antigen portion of the lipopolysaccharide. Paper chromatography of hydrolyzed lipopolysaccharide and O antigen revealed three major component differences between the non-nodulating strains and the wild type.
日本根瘤菌的非结瘤突变菌株缺乏野生型菌株所具有的一种表面抗原。这种表面抗原与脂多糖的O抗原部分相关。对水解后的脂多糖和O抗原进行纸色谱分析,结果显示非结瘤菌株与野生型菌株之间存在三个主要成分差异。
