Bacterial chemotactic motility is important for the initiation of wheat root colonization by Azospirillum brasilense.

Microbiology (Reading, England) - 1 Sept 1998

Van de Broek Ann, Lambrecht Mark, Vanderleyden Jos

Abstract excerpt

Bacteria of the genus Azospirillum are able to colonize plant roots. Using the beta-glucuronidase (GUS) reporter system, various Azospirillum mutants, including mutants affected in chemotactic motility or extracellular polysaccharide biosynthesis, were investigated for their capacity to initiate wheat root colonization at the root hair zones. Only non-flagellated mutants and a generally non-chemotactic mutant...
