Abstract
The activity of capsular polysaccharide pyruvyltransferase catalyzing the pyruvylation of acidic heteropolysaccharide was measured in Rhizobium trifolii 843 and 0403 rif. This enzyme activity was determined with EDTA-treated cells, uridine diphosphate-sugar precursors, and phosphoenol [1-14C]pyruvate. Activity was measured by the incorporation of radioactivity into organic solvent-soluble glycoconjugates. Enzymatic pyruvylation of capsular polysaccharide occurred from phosphoenolpyruvate at the lipid-bound saccharide stage.Entities:
