Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEnhanced Survival and Nodule Occupancy of Pigeon pea Nodulating Rhizobium sp. ST1 expressing fegA Gene of Bradyrhizobium japonicum 61A152Falguni R. Joshi, Dhwani K. Desai, G. Archana, Anjana J. DesaiProblem statement: Rhizobial isolates belonging to genera (Rhizobium sp. and Mesorhizobium sp.) in our laboratory produced only catecholate type of siderophores. Although FhuA and FegA (ferrichrome receptors) homologs were found to be present in the sequenced genomes of few rhizobia (e.g., 1 in R. etli and 2 in Mesorhizobium sp. BNC1), laboratory isolates of the corresponding genera failed to utilize … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2009 · 7,870 accessesView PDFCite
