Type III secretion in plant growth-promoting Pseudomonas fluorescens SBW25.

Journal article

In vivo expression technology (IVET) analysis of rhizosphere-induced genes in the plant growth-promoting rhizobacterium (PGPR) Pseudomonas fluorescens SBW25 identified a homologue of the type III secretion system (TTSS) gene hrcC. The hrcC homologue resides within a 20-kb gene cluster that resembles the type III (Hrp) gene cluster of Pseudomonas syringae. The type III (Rsp) gene cluster in P. fluorescens SBW25 is flanked by a homologue of the P. syringae TTSS-secreted protein AvrE. P. fluores...
