Stringent Expression Control of Pathogenic R-body Production in Legume Symbiont <italic toggle="yes">Azorhizobium caulinodans</italic>

ABSTRACT R bodies are insoluble large polymers consisting of small proteins encoded by reb genes and are coiled into cylindrical structures in bacterial cells. They were first discovered in Caedibacter species, which are obligate endosymbionts of paramecia. Caedibacter confers a killer trait on the...
