Nod genes, which NodD activates, code for nodulation proteins, most of which are involved in the biosynthesis of Nod factors such as;

 a) Nod factors are lipochitin oligosaccharide signal molecules

 b) Nod factor shave a chitin β-1→ 4-linked N-acetyl-D-glucosamine backbone

 c) These N-acetyl-D-glucosamine backbone varying in length from three to six sugar units

 d) A fatty acid chain on the C-2 position of the nonreducing sugar determine the length and degree of saturation of the fatty acyl chain by NodL

 Which of the following is incorrect?

There are three essential nod gene for every bacterial species that is−NodA, NodB and NodC, that are required for synthesizing this basic structure such as;

a) NodA is an N-acyltransferase that catalyzes the addition of a fatty acyl chain

b) NodB is a chitin-oligosaccharide synthase that links the acetyl group of the terminal nonreducing sugar

c) NodC is a chitin-oligosaccharide synthase that links N-acetyl-D-glucosamine monomers

d) NodB is a chitin-oligosaccharide deacetylase that removes the acetyl group from the terminal nonreducing sugar

e) NodC is a chitin-oligosaccharide deacetylase that removes links N-acetyl-D-glucosamine monomers

Which of the following statements about NOD Factor is incorrect?
