Twitching motility is essential for endophytic rice colonization by the N2-fixing endophyte Azoarcus sp. strain BH72.

Molecular plant-microbe interactions : MPMI - 1 May 2007

Böhm Melanie, Hurek Thomas, Reinhold-Hurek Barbara

Abstract excerpt

Azoarcus sp. strain BH72, as an endophyte of grasses, depends on successful host colonization. Type IV pili are essential for mediating the initial interaction with rice roots. In the genome sequence analysis, the pilT gene was identified, which encodes for a putative type IV pilus retraction protein. PilT of Azoarcus sp. BH72 shares high similarity to PilT of the human pathogen Pseudomonas aeruginosa PAO1 (77%...
