Abstract excerpt
Sequence analysis of the rpoN (2)- fixA intergenic region in the genome of Rhizobium etli CNPAF512 has uncovered three genes involved in nitrogen fixation, namely nifU, nifS and nifW. These genes are preceded by an ORF that is highly conserved among nitrogen-fixing bacteria. It encodes a putative gene product of 105 amino acids, belonging to the HesB-like protein family. A phylogenetic analysis of members of the...
