The Rhizobium etli amtB Gene Coding for an NH4+ Transporter Is Down-Regulated Early During Bacteroid Differentiation
During development of root nodules, Rhizobium bacteria differentiate inside the invaded plant cells into N2-fixing bacteroids. Terminally differentiated bacteroids are unable to grow using the ammonia (NH3 ) produced therein by the nitrogenase complex. Therefore, the nitrogen assimilation activities...
