Genetic mapping of Rhizobium meliloti.

H M Meade, E R Signer
PMCID: PMC431077  PMID: 266730

Abstract

The drug resistance factor RP4, originally isolated in Pseudomonas, was transferred to Rhizobium meliloti. In that strain, RP4 promotes conjugational transfer of chromosomal markers to form haploid recombinants. This mating system has been used to construct a linkage map of R. meliloti.
