Abstract excerpt
Rhizobium tropici strain CIAT899 displays a high intrinsic thermal tolerance, and had been used in this work to study the molecular basis of bacterial responses to high temperature. We generated a collection of R. tropici CIAT899 mutants affected in thermal tolerance using TnS-luxAB mutagenesis and described the characterization of a mutant strain, CIAT899-10T, that fails to grow under conditions of high...
