Abstract
Three phylogenetically distinct groups within the cx-proteobacteria wh ich differ in trifolitoxin sensitivity are described. Trifolitoxin sen sitivity was found in strains of Agrobacterium, Brucella, Mycoplana, O chrobactrum, Phyllobacterium, Rhodobacter, Rhodopseudomonas, Rhodospir illum, and Rhizobium. Strains of Agrobacterium, Brucella, Phyllobacter ium, Rhizobium, and Rhodospirillum were capable of producing trifolito xin upon conjugal transfer of tfxABCDEFG.
