RESUMO
Cosmids containing C4-dicarboxylate transport (dct) genes were identified from a gene bank of Rhizobium leguminosarum DNA made in the broad-host-range vector pLAFR1 by their ability to complement R. trifolii dct mutants. The dct genes were further characterized by subcloning, restriction site mapping, and transposon Tn5 and Tn7 mutageneses. Three dct loci were identified within a 5.5-kilobase region of DNA, in the order dctA-dctB-dctC. The results suggested that dctA encoded a structural component necessary for C4-dicarboxylate transport, whereas dctB and dctC encoded positive regulatory elements, and that dctA was transcribed divergently from dctB and dctC. Expression of dctA and dctC was obtained from vector promoters in some pLAFR1- and pSUP106-based plasmids.
