Regulation of Polyhydroxybutyrate Synthesis in the Soil Bacterium Bradyrhizobium diazoefficiens.
Polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB) is a carbon and energy reserve polymer in various prokaryotic species. We determined that, when grown with mannitol as the sole carbon source, Bradyrhizobium diazoefficiens produces a homopolymer composed only of 3-hydroxybutyrate units (PHB). Conditions of oxygen limitation (such as microoxia, oxic stationary phase, and bacteroids inside legume nodules) were permissiv...
متن کاملRequirements for Efficient Thiosulfate Oxidation in Bradyrhizobium diazoefficiens
One of the many disparate lifestyles of Bradyrhizobium diazoefficiens is chemolithotrophic growth with thiosulfate as an electron donor for respiration. The employed carbon source may be CO₂ (autotrophy) or an organic compound such as succinate (mixotrophy). Here, we discovered three new facets of this capacity: (i) When thiosulfate and succinate were consumed concomitantly in conditions of mix...
متن کاملAnaerobic Reduction of Nitrate to Nitrous Oxide Is Lower in Bradyrhizobium japonicum than in Bradyrhizobium diazoefficiens
When soil oxygen levels decrease, some bradyrhizobia use denitrification as an alternative form of respiration. Bradyrhizobium diazoefficiens (nos+) completely denitrifies nitrate (NO3-) to dinitrogen, whereas B. japonicum (nos-) is unable to reduce nitrous oxide to dinitrogen. We found that anaerobic growth with NO3- as the electron acceptor was significantly lower in B. japonicum than in B. d...
متن کاملGrowth Rate of and Gene Expression in Bradyrhizobium diazoefficiens USDA110 due to a Mutation in blr7984, a TetR Family Transcriptional Regulator Gene
Previous transcriptome analyses have suggested that a gene cluster including a transcriptional regulator (blr7984) of the tetracycline repressor family was markedly down-regulated in symbiosis. Since blr7984 is annotated to be the transcriptional repressor, we hypothesized that it is involved in the repression of genes in the genomic cluster including blr7984 in symbiotic bacteroids. In order t...
متن کاملVersatile Vectors for Efficient Mutagenesis of Bradyrhizobium diazoefficiens and Other Alphaproteobacteria.
UNLABELLED Analysis of bacterial gene function commonly relies on gene disruption or replacement followed by phenotypic characterization of the resulting mutant strains. Deletion or replacement of targeted regions is commonly achieved via two homologous recombination (HR) events between the bacterial genome and a nonreplicating plasmid carrying DNA fragments flanking the region to be deleted. T...
