Abstract excerpt
Rhizobium leguminosarum strain RBL5523 is able to form nodules on pea, but these nodules are ineffective for nitrogen fixation. The impairment in nitrogen fixation appears to be caused by a defective infection of the host plant and is host specific for pea. A Tn5 mutant of this strain, RBL5787, is able to form effective nodules on pea. We have sequenced a 33-kb region around the phage-transductable Tn5 insertion....
