To evaluate the role of uridylyl-transferase, the
Sinorhizobium meliloti glnD gene was isolated by
heterologous complementation in Azotobacter vinelandii.
The glnD gene is cotranscribed with a gene homologous to
Salmonella mviN. glnD1::

glnD and mviN Are Genes of an
Essential Operon in Sinorhizobium meliloti


or
mviN1::
mutants could not be isolated by a
powerful sucrose counterselection procedure unless a complementing
cosmid was provided, indicating that glnD and
mviN are members of an indispensable operon in S.
meliloti.
