D-Alanine Metabolism in B. japonicum
Description:
Rhizobium, Bradyrhizobium, Mesorhizobium, Sinorhizobium and Azorhizobium-known as Rhizobia-are Gram-negative, nitrogen-fixing bacteria of agronomic importance because they perform nitrogen-fixing symbiosis with leguminous plants. They are responsible for the world’s largest portion of fixed atmospheric nitrogen. Bradyrhizobium japonicum(B. japonicum) has been used since 1957 in molecular genetics, physiology, and ecology due to its excellent ability in symbiotic nitrogen fixation. Nodule formation and the subse...
