Genetic Analysis of a pH-Regulated Operon from Rhizobium tropici CIAT899 Involved in Acid Tolerance and Nodulation Competitiveness
Rhizobium tropici CIAT899 is highly acid tolerant and a good competitor for Phaseolus vulgaris nodule occupancy at low pH values. Using Tn5 mutagenesis, we identified an operon required for acid tolerance and nodulation competitiveness. The insertion was mapped to the 5′ end of atvA, encoding a prod...
