Abstract excerpt
Strains of Rhizobium leguminosarum which are unable to catabolize l-rhamnose, a methyl-pentose sugar, are compromised in the ability to compete for nodule occupancy versus wild-type strains. Previous characterization of the 11-kb region necessary for the utilization of rhamnose identified a locus carrying catabolic genes and genes encoding the components of an ABC transporter. Genetic evidence suggested that the...
