Abstract excerpt
Rhizobium tropici CIAT899 is highly tolerant to several environmental stresses and is a good competitor for nodule occupancy of common bean plants in acid soils. Random transposon mutagenesis was performed to identify novel genes of this strain involved in symbiosis and stress tolerance. Here, we present a genetic analysis of the locus disrupted by the Tn5 insertion in mutant 899-PV9, which lead to the discovery...
