Transfer of pAgK84 from the biocontrol agent Agrobacterium radiobacter K84 to A. tumefaciens under field conditions
1996-01-01
Abstract excerpt
Agrobacterium radiobacter strain K84 effects biological control of crown gall disease caused by A. tumefaciens in part by the plasmid-conferred production of agrocin 84, an antibiotic with specific activity against certain strains of the pathogen. A transmissible plasmid (pAgK84) resident in the biocontrol bacterium contains genes for agrocin 84 biosynthesis and immunity. The frequency of pAgK84 transfer from K84...
