A Mesorhizobium loti mutant with reduced glucan content shows defective invasion of its host plant Lotus japonicus.

Abstract excerpt

Random transposon mutagenesis led to the isolation of a novel Mesorhizobium loti mutant that is defective in nitrogen fixation during symbiosis with Lotus japonicus. The mutated locus, designated cep, encodes a putative cell-envelope protein displaying no significant sequence similarity to proteins with known functions. This mutant elicits the formation of nodule-like bumps and root-hair curling, but not the...
