Identification of two glutamine synthetases in Agrobacterium.

R L Fuchs, D L Keister
PMCID: PMC293735  PMID: 6102556

Abstract

Two distinct glutamine synthetases have been identified in Agrobacterium and in the fast-growing rhizobia. A limited survey indicates that GSII may be found only in the Rhizobiaceae family.
