Abstract excerpt
To identify host genes that might influence nod (nodulation) gene expression in Rhizobium leguminosarum, a nodC-phoA reporter plasmid (carrying nodD) was introduced into a chemically mutagenized population of a R. leguminosarum strain lacking a symbiotic plasmid. The transconjugants were screened for expression of alkaline phosphatase (PhoA) on plates containing hesperetin, an inducer of nod genes, and a mutant...
