Abstract

Rhodamine-conjugated capsular polysaccharides isolated from Rhizobium japonicum 61A76NS were used to examine binding between the labeled polysaccharides and soybean roots. Fluorescein-labeled polysaccharides were not satisfactory because soybean root hairs autofluoresce in the fluorescein region.
