DNA sequences encoding for plant growth promotant activity have been isolated and introduced into microorganisms. The modified organisms are able to confer plant growth promotant activity analogous to that of the DNA source host. Such modified hosts find use in promoting the growth of root crops by innoculating the rhizosphere with such microorganisms. E. coli HB101 (pS FL-1) was deposited at the A.T.C.C. on Oct. 8, 1982, and granted accession no. 39206.

Fluorescent siderophore genes

DNA sequences encoding for ice nucleation activity are isolated and introduced into unicellular hosts. The modified hosts demonstrate ice nucleation activity analogous to the DNA source host. The cellular products find use in inhibiting supercooling.
