Intergeneric transfer of genes involved in the Rhizobium-legume symbiosis

PE Bishop, FB Dazzo, ER Appelbaum, RJ Maier, and WJ Brill

Genes that seem to be involved in the initial steps of infection of a legume by Rhizobium have been transferred, by transformation, to mutant strains of Azotobacter vinelandii that are unable to fix nitrogen. These genes code for a surface antigen that binds specifically to a protein from the host plant.
