In Rhizobium leguminosarum the nodABC and nod-FEL operons are involved in the production of lipooligosaccharide signals, which mediate host specificity. A nodE-determined highly unsaturated C18:4 fatty acid (trans-2,trans-4,trans-6,cis-11-octadecatetraenoic acid) is essential for the ability of the
