Genetic analysis of the Rhizobium meliloti bacA gene: functional interchangeability with the Escherichia coli sbmA gene and phenotypes of mutants.

abstract：:The entry of oligogalacturonates into Dickeya dadantii occurs through the specific channel KdgM. The genome of the bacterium encodes a second member of this family of outer membrane proteins, KdgN. We showed that this protein is also involved in the uptake of oligogalacturonates. When KdgN was reconstituted in proteol...
