The O-polysaccharide of Mesorhizobium loti HAMBI 1148 was obtained by mild acid degradation of the lipopolysaccharide and studied by sugar and methylation analyses, Smith degradation, and (1)H and (13)C NMR spectroscopies, including 2D (1)H/(1)H COSY, TOCSY, ROESY, and H-detected (1)H/(13)C HSQC experiments. The O-polysaccharide was found to have a branched hexasaccharide-repeating unit of the following structure: [Formula: see text] where 2-acetamido-2-deoxy-4-O-methyl-D-glucose (D-GlcNAc4Me) and methyl group on 2-substituted D-rhamnose (Me) shown in italics are present in approximately 80% and approximately 40% repeating units, respectively. Similar studies of the O-polysaccharide from Mesorhizobium amorphae ATCC 19655 by sugar analysis and NMR spectroscopy revealed essentially the same structure but a higher content of 3-O-methyl-D-rhamnose ( approximately 70%).

Article Synopsis
- MucR is a transcriptional regulator found in Brucella species that influences gene expression related to virulence by binding to AT-rich DNA regions.
- MucR is part of the Ros/MucR family in α-proteobacteria and shares functional similarities with H-NS proteins, although they lack sequence homology.
- This study uses cryo-EM and other methods to reveal that MucR and its homolog Ml5 form a unique circular structure that can condense DNA, linking nucleoid structure to transcription regulation.

Legumes establish nitrogen-fixing symbioses with rhizobia. On the contrary, they can be attacked concomitantly by pathogens, raising the question of potential trade-offs between mutualism and immunity. In order to study such trade-offs, we used a tripartite system involving the model legume Lotus japonicus, its rhizobial symbiont Mesorhizobium loti and the soilborne pathogen Ralstonia solanacearum.

The continuous release of glucosinolates into the soil by Brassicaceae root exudation is a prerequisite to maintaining toxic levels of breakdown products such as isothiocyanates (ITCs). ITCs influence plant and microbial diversity in ecosystems, while fungi and Rhizobiaceae are particularly injured. Studies explaining the molecular mechanisms of the negative effects are presently limited.

Amino oligosaccharides (AOs) possess various biological activities and are valuable in the pharmaceutical, food industries, and agriculture. However, the industrial manufacturing of AOs has not been realized yet, despite reports on physical, chemical, and biological approaches. In this study, the production of chitin oligosaccharides (CHOS), a type of structurally defined AOs, was achieved in through combinatorial pathway engineering.

Article Synopsis
- The study focuses on using new retrotransposon insertions in a plant line to explore genetic factors involved in the symbiotic relationship between the plant and a specific nitrogen-fixing bacteria, IRBG74.
- Over 200,000 seedlings were screened to identify mutants with impaired nodulation, leading to the discovery of 110 mutants that showed significant defects after inoculation.
- The sequencing of mutants revealed disruptions in 92 genes, including one involved in autophagy, enhancing understanding of the genetic basis of nodulation and highlighting the potential for forward genetics in plant research.*
