Abstract excerpt
To investigate the involvement of bacterial catalases of the symbiotic gram-negative bacterium Rhizobium meliloti in the development of Medicago-Rhizobium functional nodules, we cloned a putative kat gene by screening a cosmid library with a catalase-specific DNA probe amplified by PCR from the R. meliloti genome. Nucleotide sequence analysis of a 1.8-kb DNA fragment revealed an open reading frame, called katA,...
