Novel DNA Sequences from Natural Strains of the Nitrogen-Fixing Symbiotic Bacterium Sinorhizobium meliloti
Abstract
Variation in genome size and content is common among bacterial strains. Identifying these naturally occurring differences can accelerate our understanding of bacterial attributes, such as ecological specialization and genome evolution. In this study, we used representational difference analysis to identify potentially novel sequences not present in the sequenced laboratory strain Rm1021 of the nitrogen-fixing bacterium Sinorhizobium meliloti. …
