Other claims from this paper (9)
- Observation LPU83 nodulates alfalfa, bean, and Leucena leucocephala.
- Observation The LPU83 nod cluster is syntenic with clusters of alfalfa-nodulating rhizobia.
- Observation R. mongolense USDA 1844 nod sequences showed the strongest similarity to LPU83 sequences.
- Observation The nodEG intergenic phylogeny places LPU83 and R. mongolense 1844 in the same branch.
- Observation LPU83 may represent an early alfalfa-nodulating genotype.
- Observation Wild-type LPU83 nodulation factors have trimeric, tetrameric, and pentameric chitin backbones with substitutions shared with alfalfa- and bean-nodulating rhizobia.
- Observation Most LPU83 nodulation factors were sulfated at their reducing terminal residue.
- Observation No nodulation factors from the nodH mutant LPU83-H were sulfated.
- Observation Sulfate decoration of LPU83 nodulation factors is unnecessary for alfalfa nodulation.
