Analysis of Rhizobium meliloti Sym Mutants Obtained by Heat Treatment.
Deletions in the pSym megaplasmid of Rhizobium meliloti were produced at a high frequency, and their lengths varied according to incubation temperature. Morphological differentiation into large and small colonies occurred after heat treatment. Small colonies elicited pseudonodules on alfalfa roots.
متن کاملInterference between Rhizobium meliloti and Rhizobium trifolii nodulation genes: genetic basis of R. meliloti dominance.
Transfer of an IncP plasmid carrying the Rhizobium meliloti nodFE, nodG, and nodH genes to Rhizobium trifolii enabled R. trifolii to nodulate alfalfa (Medicago sativa), the normal host of R. meliloti. Using transposon Tn5-linked mutations and in vitro-constructed deletions of the R. meliloti nodFE, nodG, and nodH genes, we showed that R. meliloti nodH was required for R. trifolii to elicit both...
متن کاملExtended Region of Nodulation Genes in Rhizobium meliloti 1021. I. Phenotypes of Tn5 Insertion Mutants.
Rhizobium meliloti Nod(-) mutant WL131, a derivative of wild-type strain 102F51, was complemented by a clone bank of wild-type R. meliloti 1021 DNA, and clone pRmJT5 was recovered. Transfer of pRmJT5 conferred alfalfa nodulation on other Rhizobium species, indicating a role in host range determination for pRmJT5. Mutagenesis of pRmJT5 revealed several segments in which transposon insertion caus...
متن کاملStructural studies of alfalfa roots infected with nodulation mutants of Rhizobium meliloti.
Alfalfa roots infected with four nodulation defective (Nod-) mutants of Rhizobium meliloti which were generated by transposon Tn5 mutagenesis were examined by light and electron microscopy. In one class of Nod- mutants, which we can nonreactive, the bacteria did not induce root hair curling or penetrate host cells. In a second class of Nod- mutants, which we call reactive, the bacteria induced ...
متن کاملMolecular characterization of Tn5-induced symbiotic (Fix-) mutants of Rhizobium meliloti.
To investigate the expression of specific symbiotic genes during the development of nitrogen-fixing root nodules, we conducted a systematic analysis of nodule-specific proteins and RNAs produced after the inoculation of alfalfa roots with a series of Rhizobium meliloti mutants generated by site-directed transposon Tn5 mutagenesis. The mutagenized region of the Rhizobium genome covered approxima...
