Abstract excerpt
To investigate the role of dicarboxylate transport in nitrogen-fixing symbioses between Rhizobium and tropical legumes, we made a molecular genetic analysis of the bacterial transport system in Rhizobium sp. NGR234. This braod host range strain fixes nitrogen in association with evolutionarily divergent legumes. Two dicarboxylate transport systems were cloned from Rhizobium NGR234. One locus was chromosomally...
