Transposon sequencing analysis of Bradyrhizobium diazoefficiens 110spc4

Abstract Bradyrhizobium diazoefficiens USDA110 is one of the most effective nitrogen-fixing symbionts of soybeans. Here we carried out a large-scale transposon insertion sequencing (Tn-seq) analysis of strain Bd110spc4, which is derived from USDA110, with the goal of increasing available resources f...
