Genetic manipulation of plant growth-promoting bacteria (Basic studies)
Version January 2008
Goals: Genetically manipulate plant growth-promoting bacteria; production
Azospirillum strains with reporter genes (green fluorescent proteins);
and insertion of phosphate-solubilization genes into the bacterial genome.
