Abstract excerpt
Rhizobium tropici forms nitrogen-fixing nodules on the roots of the common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris). Like other legume-Rhizobium symbioses, the bean-R. tropici association is sensitive to the availability of phosphate (P(i)). To better understand phosphorus movement between the bacteroid and the host plant, P(i) transport was characterized in R. tropici. We observed two P(i) transport systems, a high-affinity...
