A stomatin-like protein encoded by the slp gene of Rhizobium etli is required for nodulation competitiveness on the common bean.

Abstract excerpt

Rhizobium etli strain TAL182 is a competitive strain for effective nodulation of beans. From this strain, a novel gene was isolated, slp, which is 669 bp in size and required for nodulation competition on the common bean. The slp knockout mutant of TAL182 is defective in nodulation competition, shows reduced growth in the presence of 200 mM NaCl, KCl or LiCl and is complemented by the cloned slp gene. The deduced...
