Auxotrophic Mutant Strains of Rhizobium etli Reveal New Nodule Development Phenotypes
We report here the isolation and characterization of amino acid-requiring mutant strains of Rhizobium etli. We observe that the phenotype of most mutations, even when causing a strict auxotrophy, is overcome by cross-feeding from the host plant Phaseolus vulgaris, thereby allowing bacterial producti...
