Symbiotic properties of C4-dicarboxylic acid transport mutants of Rhizobium leguminosarum
Abstract
The transport of succinate was studied in bacteroids of an effective, streptomycin-resistant strain (GF160) of Rhizobium leguminosarum. High levels of succinate transport occurred, and the kinetics, specificity, and sensitivity to metabolic inhibitors were similar to those previously described for free-living cells. The symbiotic properties of two transposon (Tn5)-mediated C4-dicarboxylate transport mutants (strains GF31 and GF252) were …
