Abstract excerpt
Symbiotic nitrogen fixation involves the development of specialized organs called nodules within which plant photosynthates are exchanged for combined nitrogen of bacterial origin. To determine the importance of bacterial nitrogen metabolism in symbiosis, we have characterized a key regulator of this metabolism in Rhizobium meliloti, the uridylylatable P(II) protein encoded by glnB. We have constructed both a...
