ABSTRACT:
Isolation and characterization of a gene which activated nitrogen fixation genes of Rhizobium meliloti when that bacterium is in a symbiotic relationship with a plant is disclosed. This newly discovered gene, designated fix D, can activate the nifHD promoter. A method of making this inducible gene constitutive is presented. This is useful for making nifHD constitutive. The combination of the fixD promoter with heterologous structural genes is taught. Such combinations are useful for limiting expression of an encoded protein to rhizobia involved in a symbiotic relationship with a plant. Plasmids and methods useful in performance of this invention are also disclosed.
