Auxotrophy Accounts for Nodulation Defect of Most Sinorhizobium meliloti Mutants in the Branched-Chain Amino Acid Biosynthesis Pathway

Some Sinorhizobium meliloti mutants in genes involved in isoleucine, valine, and leucine biosynthesis were previously described as being unable to induce nodule formation on host plants. Here, we present a reappraisal of the interconnection between the branched-chain amino acid biosynthesis pathway...
