Abstract excerpt
Rhizobium leguminosarum biovar phaseoli type II strain CIAT899 nodulates a wide range of hosts: Phaseolus vulgaris (beans), Leucaena esculenta (leucaena) and Macroptilium atropurpureum (siratro). A nodulation region from the symbiotic plasmid has been isolated and characterized. This region, which is contained in the overlapping cosmid clones pCV38 and pCV117, is able to induce nodules in beans, leucaena and...
