Summary  The common polysaccharide antigen (CPA) of the lipopolysaccharide (LPS) from  Pseudomonas syringae  is highly variable, but the genetic basis for this is poorly understood. We have characterized the CPA locus from  P. syringae  pv.  actinidiae  ( Psa ). This locus has genes for  l ‐ and  d ‐rhamnose biosynthesis and an operon coding for ABC transporter subunits, a bifunctional glycosyltransferase and an  o ‐methyltransferase. This operon is predicted to have a role in the transport, elongation and termination of the CPA oligosaccharide and is referred to as the TET operon. Two alleles of the TET operon were present in different biovars (BV) of  Psa  and lineages of the closely related pathovar  P. syringae  pv.  actinidifoliorum . This allelic variation was reflected in the electrophoretic properties of purified LPS from the different isolates. Gene knockout of the TET operon allele from BV1 and replacement with that from BV3, demonstrated the link between the genetic locus and the biochemical properties of the LPS molecules in  Psa . Sequence analysis of the TET operon from a range of  P. syringae  and  P. viridiflava  isolates displayed a phylogenetic history incongruent with core gene phylogeny but correlates with previously reported tailocin sensitivity, suggesting a functional relationship between LPS structure and tailocin susceptibility.
