Abstract excerpt
The DNA region downstream of the nodABCSUIJ operon of Azorhizobium caulinodans was further characterized and two new genes, nodZ and noeC were identified in the same operon. The A. caulinodans wild-type strain produces a population of Nod factors that, at the reducing end, are either unmodified o...
