The Sinorhizobium meliloti Glycine Betaine Biosynthetic Genes (betICBA) Are Induced by Choline and Highly Expressed in Bacteroids
The symbiotic soil bacterium Sinorhizobium meliloti has the capacity to synthesize the osmoprotectant glycine betaine from choline-O-sulfate and choline. This pathway is encoded by the betICBA locus, which comprises a regulatory gene, betI, and three structural genes, betC (choline sulfatase), betB...
