Abstract excerpt
Two variant strains of Bradyrhizobium japonicum, derived from SEMIA 566, adapted to the stressful environmental conditions of the Brazilian Cerrados and characterized by contrasting capacities for N(2) fixation, were compared by representational difference analysis (RDA). Twenty-four gene sequences that are unique to the highly effective strain S 370 were identified, eight showing high similarity to known genes,...
