Abstract excerpt
AIMS: To study the genetic basis of C(4)-dicarboxylate transport (Dct) in relation to symbiotic nitrogen fixation in Mesorhizobium ciceri. METHODS AND RESULTS: A Tn5-induced mutant strain (TL16) of M. ciceri, unable to grow on C(4)-dicarboxylates, was isolated from the wild-type strain TAL 620. The mutant lacked activities of the enzymes, which use C(4)-dicarboxylates as substrate. The sequencing of the 3.2kb...
