Large-Scale Transposon Mutagenesis of Photosynthetic Bradyrhizobium Sp. Strain ORS278 Reveals New Genetic Loci Putatively Important for Nod-Independent Symbiosis with Aeschynomene indica

Photosynthetic Bradyrhizobium strains possess the unusual ability to form nitrogen-fixing nodules on a specific group of legumes in the absence of Nod factors. To obtain insight into the bacterial genes involved in this Nod-independent symbiosis, we screened 15,648 Tn5 mutants of Bradyrhizobium sp....
