Physiological status and root-colonization of Pseudomonas fluorescens 2–79RL were examined in presence or absence of mycorrhizae on the roots of pepper over 6 weeks. Due to incorporation of a ribosomal promoter-driven lux marker into the chromosome of this bacterium, the end of the lag phase and ons...
