TABLE 2.
Quantification of bacteria recovered from nodules following coinoculation of wild type and lpsS::pDW33 mutanta
Inoculated strains | No. of wild-type bacteria | No. of lpsS::pDW33 bacteria | Ratio of wild type/lpsS::pDW33 bacteria |
---|---|---|---|
Wild type | 96 | 0 | NAb |
lpsS::pDW33 | 0 | 96 | NA |
Wild type/lpsS::pDW33 (1:1) | 324 | 455 | 0.412 |
Wild type/lpsS::pDW33 (10:1) | 460 | 31 | 0.936 |
Wild type/lpsS::pDW33 (1:10) | 68 | 487 | 0.122 |
Numbers represent the bacteria recovered from 20 nodules.
