A genetic locus necessary for rhamnose uptake and catabolism in Rhizobium leguminosarum bv. trifolii.
Rhizobium leguminosarum bv. trifolii mutants unable to catabolize the methyl-pentose rhamnose are unable to compete effectively for nodule occupancy. In this work we show that the locus responsible for the transport and catabolism of rhamnose spans 10,959 bp. Mutations in this region were generated by transposon mutagenesis, and representative mutants were characterized. The locus contains gene...
متن کاملTrehalose biosynthesis in Rhizobium leguminosarum bv. trifolii and its role in desiccation tolerance.
Rhizobium leguminosarum bv. trifolii forms nitrogen-fixing root nodules on the pasture legume Trifolium repens, and T. repens seed is often coated with a compatible R. leguminosarum bv. trifolii strain prior to sowing. However, significant losses in bacterial viability occur during the seed-coating process and during storage of the coated seeds, most likely due to desiccation stress. The disacc...
متن کاملTransposon mediation allows a symbiotic plasmid of Rhizobium leguminosarum bv. trifolii to become a symbiosis island in Agrobacterium and Rhizobium.
The symbiotic plasmid (pSym) of Rhizobium leguminosarum bv. trifolii 4S5, which carries Tn5-mob, was successfully transferred into Agrobacterium tumefaciens A136 by using a conjugation method. The resulting transconjugants induced the development of ineffective nitrogen-fixing nodules on the roots of white clover seedlings. Depending on the manner in which the pSym was retained, the transconjug...
متن کاملNew Rhizobium leguminosarum bv. trifolii isolates: Evaluation of competitiveness for clover nodule occupancy
An interrelationship between introduced and indigenous rhizobia focused on their competitiveness in nodulation was evaluated in a soil pot experiment. Clover seeds were inoculated by six different gradual concentrations of inoculum of two effective Rhizobium leguminosarum bv. trifolii isolates (inoculation strains 1/2 and 14/2). At the beginning of flowering, clover plants were removed from the...
متن کاملLipoprotein PssN of Rhizobium leguminosarum bv. trifolii: subcellular localization and possible involvement in exopolysaccharide export.
Surface expression of exopolysaccharides (EPS) in gram-negative bacteria depends on the activity of proteins found in the cytoplasmic membrane, the periplasmic space, and the outer membrane. pssTNOP genes identified in Rhizobium leguminosarum bv. trifolii strain TA1 encode proteins that might be components of the EPS polymerization and secretion system. In this study, we have characterized PssN...
