ABSTRACT:
A plasmid for use in root nodule bacteria is described which is intended both to increase yield of inoculated legume plants inoculated with the bacteria as well as aiding in the competitiveness of the bacteria with native strains. The plasmid include a hydrogen uptake element which aids in energy efficient nitrogen fixation by the plant bacteria symbiotic pair as well as a toxin and resistance element intended to aid in the competitive fitness of the inoculant bacterial strain.
