The two transfer regions of the Rhizobium lupini conjugation

I. Fertility factor elimination and one way transfer

  • Published:
Molecular and General Genetics MGG Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Summary

In fertile Rhizobium lupini strains the donor ability has been eliminated. One way transfer experiments reveal the existence of two different fertility factors, which activate the transfer of different chromosomal regions. Therefore four different fertility types can be defined with different donor characterstics.
