Manganese transport is essential for N2‐fixation by Rhizobium leguminosarum in bacteroids from galegoid but not phaseoloid nodules

Rhizobium leguminosarum has two high‐affinity Mn2+ transport systems encoded by sitABCD and mntH. In symbiosis, sitABCD and mntH were expressed throughout nodules and also strongly induced in Mn2+‐limited cultures of free‐living cells. Growth of a sitA mntH double mutant was severely reduced under M...
