Agrobacterium tumefaciens C58 (UWash/Dupont) is a Gram-negative,
non-sporing, motile, rod-shaped bacterium. It is a plant pathogen capable of
transferring a defined segment of DNA to a host plant replacing the transferred
tumor-inducing genes with exogenous DNA generating a gall tumor. A.
tumefaciens strain C58 has an unusual structure consisting of one circular
and one linear chromosome (Ref.1 & 2). Glutathione metabolism in A.
tumefaciens involves both the synthesis of Glutathione and its catabolism.
Glutathione is a small molecule found in almost every cell. It cannot enter most
cells directly and therefore must be made available inside the cell from its
three constituent amino acids: Glycine, Glutamate and Cysteine. The rate at
which Glutathione can be made depends on the availability [...] |
