Identification of Genes Relevant to Symbiosis and Competitiveness in Sinorhizobium meliloti Using Signature-Tagged Mutants

Sinorhizobium meliloti enters an endosymbiosis with alfalfa plants through the formation of nitrogen-fixing nodules. In order to identify S. meliloti genes required for symbiosis and competitiveness, a method of signature-tagged mutagenesis was used. Two sets, each consisting of 378 signature-tagged...
