Abstract excerpt
AIMS: Plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) introduced into soil often do not compete effectively with indigenous micro-organisms for plant colonization. The aim of this study was to identify novel genes that are important for root colonization by the PGPR Enterobacter cloacae UW5. METHODS AND RESULTS: A library of transposon mutants of Ent. cloacae UW5 was screened for mutants with altered ability to...
