Description: "Here, we present the genetic analysis of polysaccharides from a number of bacteria pathogenic to humans and one symbiotic with plants in hopes that similarities in the experimental approaches as well as findings from such investigations may lead to a general understanding of polysaccharide synthesis and regulation in various bacteria."--BOOK JACKET.
