The location of structural nitrogen-fixation genes was determined for the slow- and fast-growing types of Rhizobium japonicum. Slow-growing R. japonicum strains do not harbor structural nif genes, homologous to nifD and nifH, on large plasmids (100 to 200 megadaltons). In contrast, all fast-growing R. japonicum strains, except PRC194, contain structural nif genes on large plasmids.
测定了日本根瘤菌慢生型和快生型中结构固氮基因的位置。慢生型日本根瘤菌菌株在大质粒(100至200兆道尔顿)上不含有与nifD和nifH同源的结构固氮基因。相反,除PRC194外,所有快生型日本根瘤菌菌株在大质粒上都含有结构固氮基因。
