Abstract excerpt
The pleiotropic phenotype of an auxotrophic purL mutant (SVQ295) of Sinorhizobium fredii HH103 has been investigated. SVQ295 forms colonies that are translucent, produce more slime and absorb less Congo red than those of wild-type strain HH103. SVQ295 did not grow in minimal medium unless the culture was supplemented with thiamin and adenine or with thiamin and AICA-riboside (5-aminoimidazole-4-carboxamide...
