Members of theRhizobiaceaecontain 27-hydroxyoctacosanoic acid (27OHC28:0) in their lipid A. ARhizobium leguminosarum 3841 acpXLmutant (named here Rlv22) lacking a functional specialized acyl carrier lacked 27OHC28:0in its lipid A, had altered growth and physiological properties (e.g., it was unable to grow in the presence of an elevated salt concentration [0.5% NaCl]), and formed irregularly shaped bacteroids, and the synchronous division of this mutant and the host plant-derived symbiosome membrane was disrupted. In spite of these defects, the mutant was able to persist within the root nodule cells and eventually form, albeit inefficiently, nitrogen-fixing bacteroids. This result suggested that while it is in a host root nodule, the mutant may have some mechanism by which it adapts to the loss of 27OHC28:0from its lipid A. In order to further define the function of this fatty acyl residue, it was necessary to examine the lipid A isolated from mutant bacteroids. In this report we show that addition of 27OHC28:0to the lipid A of Rlv22 lipopolysaccharides is partially restored in Rlv22acpXLmutant bacteroids. We hypothesize thatR. leguminosarumbv. viciae 3841 contains an alternate mechanism (e.g., anotheracpgene) for the synthesis of 27OHC28:0, which is activated when the bacteria are in the nodule environment, and that it is this alternative mechanism which functionally replacesacpXLand is responsible for the synthesis of 27OHC28:0-containing lipid A in the Rlv22acpXLbacteroids.
