MgtE From Rhizobium leguminosarum Is a Mg2+ Channel Essential for Growth at Low pH and N2 Fixation on Specific Plants
MgtE is predicted to be a Rhizobium leguminosarum channel and is essential for growth when both Mg2+ is limiting and the pH is low. N2 was only fixed at 8% of the rate of wild type when the crop legume Pisum sativum was inoculated with an mgtE mutant of R. leguminosarum and, although bacteroids were...
