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 that 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...
