Abstract excerpt

A novel method using a moc (mannityl opine catabolism) region from the Agrobacterium tumefaciens Ti plasmid pTi15955 was developed as a tag to identify genetically modified microorganisms released into the environment. Pseudomonas fluorescens 1855.344, a plant-growth-promoting rhizosphere bacteri...
