Cloning and sequence of the Rhizobium leguminosarum biovar phaseoli fixA gene.
We report the identification and cloning of Rhizobium leguminosarum biovar phaseoli fixABCX homologous genes and the complete nucleotide sequence of the fixA gene. The corresponding gene product is highly homologous to the Rhizobium meliloti and Azorhizobium caulinodans FixA proteins. Putative NtrA- and NifA-binding sites are identified in the fixA promoter region.
