abstract：:The gltA gene, encoding Sinorhizobium meliloti 104A14 citrate synthase, was isolated by complementing an Escherichia coli gltA mutant. The S. meliloti gltA gene was mutated by inserting a kanamycin resistance gene and then using homologous recombination to replace the wild-type gltA with the gltA::kan allele. The resu...
