“…The virulent strain of this bacterium produces extracellular polysaccharide (EPS) which seems to be an important factor in the wilting of susceptible plants by occlusion of their xylem vessels9). Chemical compositions of the EPS have been investigated by several groups3, 4,6,7,10), in which galactosamine was iden tified as the main component sugar by three groups3,4,10), whereas glucose7), and glucose and mannose6) were identified by others. In a previous paper2), we investigated the chemical composition of EPS produced by a strain U-7 of P. solanacearum and found that the main component sugar is N-acetylgalactosamine.…”

The extracellular polysaccharides produced by 17 virulent strains of Pseudomonas solanacea rum collected from Japan and USA were compared in terms of wilt-inducing activity on tomato cuttings, sugar compositions, amino sugar content and degree of N-acetylation of the amino sugar. It was found that all polysaccharides investigated had wilt-inducing activity on tomato cuttings and that they were composed mainly of N-acetylgalactosamine residue.
