Fig. 2: Exopolysaccharide polymerization and transport machinery rather than biosynthesis arsenals are required for rhizoplane colonization.
From: Rhizobial migration toward roots mediated by FadL-ExoFQP modulation of extracellular long-chain AHLs
A Predicted subcellular localization of ExoP, ExoQ, ExoF, and FadL. B The exo gene cluster directing exopolysaccharide biosynthesis, transport, and degradation in SF2, and its transposon insertion frequency in three independent experiments (rows) under different conditions. The results of fadL is also shown. C The predicted pathway of exopolysaccharide biosynthesis, transport, and degradation in SF2. G-6-P glucose-6-phosphate, F-6-P fructose-6-phosphate, Ac acetyl group, Ac-CoA Acetyl-CoA, PEP phosphoenolpyruvate.
