Abstract
A screening method based on differential staining of the wild type and exopolysaccharide-deficient mutants of Rhizobium (Sinorhizobium) meliloti by the lipophilic dye Sudan Black B is described. Mutants defective in the production of either succinoglycan or EPS II (galactoglucan) were isolated by using this method, which might also prove useful for isolating exopolysaccharide-defective derivatives of other bacteria.Entities:
