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 homologo...
