Isolation and Characterization of Extracellular Polysaccharide of<i>Clavibacter michiganensis</i>subsp.<i>sepedonicus</i>

Abstract

The extracellular polysaccharide (EPS) of Clavibacter michiganensis subsp. sepedonicus, the causal organism of bacterial ring rot of potato, consists of four components (I-IV) that were separated on the basis of size and charge. These components were homogenous according to ion-exchange and/or permeation chromatography, to analysis of neutral sugar composition, and by reaction with polyclonal antisera (...)
