Genetic map of Rhizobium meliloti megaplasmid pRmeSU47b.
A circular linkage map of the Rhizobium meliloti megaplasmid pRmeSU47b was constructed. The map consists of transposon insertions carrying alternating antibiotic resistance markers linked by phi M12 transduction. Data from conjugation experiments utilizing donor strains carrying Tn5-oriT insertions in the megaplasmid supported the proposed genetic map. In addition, the positions of previously i...
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 کاملAnalysis of a 1600-kilobase Rhizobium meliloti megaplasmid using defined deletions generated in vivo.
A series of 120-600 kilobase deletions with defined endpoints were made in the 1600-kilobase Rhizobium meliloti megaplasmid pRmeSU47b, by homologous recombination between the IS50 elements of transposon insertions. Utilizing IS 50-mediated homologous recombination we also made defined reductions in deletion size and combined adjacent deletions. Deletion structure was confirmed by phage transduc...
متن کاملMorphology of root nodules and nodule-like structures formed by Rhizobium and Agrobacterium strains containing a Rhizobium meliloti megaplasmid
We examined expression of the megaplasmid pRme41b of Rhizobium meliloti in two different Rhizobium sp. Strains and in Agrobacterium tumefaciens. Transfer of pRme41b into these bacteria was facilitated by insertion of a recombinant plasmid coding for mobilization functions of RP4 into the nif region (Kondorosi, A., E. Kondorosi, C.E. Pankhurst, W. J. Broughton, and Z. Banfalvi, 1982, Mol. Gen. G...
متن کاملSecond symbiotic megaplasmid in Rhizobium meliloti carrying exopolysaccharide and thiamine synthesis genes.
Using physical and genetic data, we have demonstrated that Rhizobium meliloti SU47 has a symbiotic megaplasmid, pRmeSU47b, in addition to the previously described nod-nif megaplasmid pRmeSU47a. This plasmid includes four loci involved in exopolysaccharide (exo) synthesis as well as two loci involved in thiamine biosynthesis. Mutations at the exo loci have previously been shown to result in the ...
