Abstract excerpt
The Rhizobium leguminosarum nodM gene product shows strong homology to the Escherichia coli glmS gene product that catalyses the formation of glucosamine 6-P from fructose 6-P and glutamine. DNA hybridization with nodM indicated that, in addition to nodM on the symbiotic plasmid, another homologous gene was present elsewhere in the R. leguminosarum genome. A glucosamine-requiring mutant was isolated and its...
