Abstract excerpt
Nod factor modifications mediated by nodZ and nolL gene products (fucosylation and acetylation of fucose residues, respectively) were probably later acquisitions in the nodulation process. Novel phylogenetic analyses suggest that nodZ and nolL genes were transferred from Bradyrhizobium to other nodule bacteria. These bradyrhizobial genes are highly diverse while rhizobial, sinorhizobial and mesorhizobial nodZ and...
