Abstract
ABSTRACT
We report here the first characterization of the
Sinorhizobium meliloti
open reading frame SMc01113. The SMc01113 protein is a member of a highly conserved protein family, universal among bacteria. We demonstrate that the SMc01113 gene is absolutely required for
S. meliloti
symbiosis with alfalfa and also for the protection of the bacterium from a wide range of environmental stresses.
