Abstract excerpt
Two 'calcium-irreparable' acid-sensitive mutants were identified after mutagenizing Rhizobium leguminosarum bv. viciae and Sinorhizobium meliloti with Tn5. Each mutant contains a single copy of the transposon which, inserted within the actP gene, prevents expression of a P-type ATPase that belongs to the CPx heavy metal-transporting subfamily. Here, we show that both actP-knockout mutants show sensitivity to...
