These glycoconjugates are composed of three regions: the lipid A that anchors the molecule to the outer cell membrane, the core oligosaccharide, and the O-antigen. The LPS from Herbaspirillum seropedicae strain (wild type) has lipid A-core containing different degrees of O-antigen oligomerization, however, the LPS from the mutant strain LPSEB (waaL) lacks the O-antigen, has only the lipid A-core. Here, H. seropedicae is a plant growth-promoting diazotrophic betaproteobacterium which associates with important crops, such as maize, wheat, rice and sugar-cane.<\/p>\n<p>Maize root colonization of both wild type and mutant strains showed dose-dependent increases (as shown in a figure below A), however, the numbers of the waaL mutant cells attached to the roots were always lower than those of the wild type. Co-inoculation assays revealed a clear predominance of the wild type strain against the waaL mutant for attachment (see the figure below B).<\/p>\n<p>In the figure below, A: maize was inoculated separately with the indicated amount of each bacterial strain, and B: maize was inoculated with a 1\u22361 mixture of both strains.
