Flagellar-dependent motility in Mesorhizobium tianshanense is involved in the early stage of plant host interaction: study of an flgE mutant.

Abstract excerpt

Bacterial motility is most likely a critical factor for rhizobium to chemotactically colonize on the root surface prior to infecting leguminous plant hosts. Several studies of the rhizobium flagellar filament have been reported, but little is known about the rhizobium flagellum hook. To investigate the roles of the hook protein in flagellum synthesis in Mesorhizobium tianshanense, the hook protein-encoding gene...
