Existence of Sinorhizobium meliloti genomic fragment hybridizing with the nifM gene of Klebsiella pneumoniae.
A novel finding that genomic restriction fragments of symbiotic nitrogen fixer S. meliloti hybridized with nifM gene probe of the free-living diazotroph Klebsiella pneumoniae is reported. When SmaI endonuclease was used to digest S. meliloti DNA, a unique hybridizing band was obtained.
