Composition of the Capsular and Extracellular Polysaccharides of Rhizobium japonicum

Abstract
The chemical compositions of the capsular and extracellular polysaccharides of two strains of Rhizobium japonicum (311b 138 and 110) have been determined and correlated as a function of culture age with the ability of the bacteria from which they were obtained to bind soybean seed lectin.
