Trifolitoxin Production in Rhizobium etli Strain CE3 Increases Competitiveness for Rhizosphere Colonization and Root Nodulation of Phaseolus vulgaris in Soil

The effect of trifolitoxin (TFX) production by Rhizobium etli on rhizosphere colonization and competition for nodulation in soil conditions was determined. TFX is a potent peptide antibiotic made by Rhizobium leguminosarum bv. trifolii T24 that inhibits many α-proteobacteria (E. W. Triplett, B. T. B...
