Abstract excerpt
Rhizobium leguminosarum bv. viciae UPM791 contains a second copy of the fnrN gene, which encodes a redox-sensitive transcriptional activator functionally homologous to Escherichia coli Fnr. This second copy (fnrN2) is located in the symbiotic plasmid, while fnrN1 is in the chromosome. Isolation and sequencing of the fnrN2 gene revealed that the deduced amino acid sequence of FnrN2 is 87.5% identical to the...
