The wzm gene located on the pRhico plasmid of Azospirillum brasilense Sp7 is involved in lipopolysaccharide synthesis.

Microbiology (Reading, England) - 1 Mar 2009

Abstract excerpt

Several genes involved in the interaction between Azospirillum brasilense Sp7 and plants are located on the pRhico plasmid. Here we report the characterization of an Sp7 mutant strain with impairment of the pRhico-located gene wzm. This gene encodes an inner-membrane component of an ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporter with similarity to transporters involved in surface polysaccharide export. Indeed, SDS-PAGE...
