Verbatim
e1“We examined the contribution of a cryptic plasmid, pRmeGR4b, to the nodulation of Medicago sativa by strain GR4 of Rhizobium meliloti”
e3“Expression of DNA downstream of the nif promoterlike sequence, monitored by beta-galactosidase activity of different lacZ fusions, was demonstrated to depend on a functional nifA gene, both in microaerobically free-living cells and in nodules”

Other claims from this paper (5)
- Intervention effect Tn3-HoHo1 insertions in the nfe DNA region reduced Rhizobium meliloti nodulation competitiveness on Medicago sativa.
- Observation A 206-base-pair region of the pRmeGR4b PstI fragment shows high homology with the DNA upstream of the P1 and P2 symbiotic promoter RNA start points.
- Observation A 905-base-pair PstI fragment of pRmeGR4b hybridized the Rhizobium meliloti fixA promoter region.
- Observation Putative nif promoter consensus sequences were conserved in the DNA segment of the nfe region.
- Observation The nfe symbiotic region occupies approximately 5 kilobases of pRmeGR4b DNA.
