Transposon Mutagenesis in Rhizobia Which Can Nodulate Both Legumes and the Nonlegume Parasponia

AUTOR(ES)
RESUMO

The successful use of transposon mutagenesis in a slow-growing Rhizobium permitted the isolation of auxotrophic and symbiotically defective mutants. In these mutants, it was shown that different single-copy Tn5 insertions had occurred. Mutant phenotypes indicated that the control of nitrogenase activity in vitro and in planta is different.
