Abstract excerpt
The symbiosis island of Mesorhizobium loti strain R7A contains genes with strong similarity to the structural vir genes (virB1-11; virD4) of Agrobacterium tumefaciens that encode the type IV secretion system (T4SS) required for T-DNA transfer to plants. In contrast, M. loti strain MAFF303099 lacks these genes but contains genes not present in strain R7A that encode a type III secretion system (T3SS). Here we show...
