Abstract excerpt
We identified by cloning and DNA sequence analysis the phosphate regulatory gene phoB of Bradyrhizobium japonicum. The deduced gene product displayed pronounced similarity to the PhoB protein of Sinorhizobium meliloti (71.4% identical amino acids). Escherichia coli (50.2%) and other bacterial spe...
