Only some strains of Rhizobium leguminosarum biovar viciae can efficiently nodulate varieties of peas such as cv. Afghanistan, which carry a recessive allele that blocks efficient nodulation by most western isolates of R. I. viciae. One strain (TOM) which can nodulate cv. Afghanistan peas has a gene (nodX) that is required to overcome the nodulation resistance. Strain TOM makes significantly lower amounts of lipo-oligosaccharide nodulation factors than other strains of R. L viciae and this effect appears to be due to lower levels of nod gene induction. These nodulation factors are similar to those from other R. L viciae strains in that they consist of an oligomer of four or five beta1-4-linked N-acetylglucosamine residues in which the terminal non-reducing glucosamine carries an O-acetyl group and a C18:4 or C18:1 N-acyl group. However, one of the nodulation factors made by strain TOM differs from the factors made by other strains of R. I. viciae in that it carries an O-acetyl group on the C-6 of the reducing N-acetylglucosamine residue. This acetylation is NodX-dependent and the pentameric nodulation factor is acetylated on the reducing N-acetylglucosamine residue whereas the tetrameric nodulation factor is not. Although the nodL gene product is also an O-acetyl transferase (it O-acetylates the C-6 of the terminal non-reducing glucosamine), there is very little similarity between the amino acid sequences of these two acetyl transferases.
