The purMN Genes of Rhizobium leguminosarum and a Superficial Link with Siderophore Production

We isolated a mutant of R. leguminosarum initially on the basis of reduced production of the siderophore vicibactin on chrome azurol sulfonate (CAS)/agar indicator plates. The mutation was in the purMN operon and the mutant was shown to be an adenine auxotroph and defective for nodulation of peas. T...
