Project description:Investigation of whole genome gene expression level changes in a Sinorhizobium meliloti 1021 rpoH1 rpoH2 double mutant, compared to the wild-type strain. The mutations engineered into this strain render it deficient in symbiotic nitrogen fixation. The mutants analyzed in this study are further described in Mitsui, H, T. Sato, Y. Sato, and K. Minamisawa. 2004. Sinorhizobium meliloti RpoH1 is required for effective nitrogen-fixing symbiosis with alfalfa. Mol Gen Genomics 271:416-425.
