Isolation of carbon- and nitrogen-deprivation-induced loci of Sinorhizobium meliloti 1021 by Tn5-luxAB mutagenesis.
Soil bacteria, such as Sinorhizobium meliloti, are subject to variation in environmental conditions, including carbon- and nitrogen-deprivation. The ability of bacteria to sense changes in their environment and respond accordingly is of vital importance to their survival and persistence in the soil and rhizosphere. A derivative of Tn5 which creates transcriptional fusions to the promoterless lu...
متن کاملCharacterization of Novel Plant Symbiosis Mutants Using a New Multiple Gene-Expression Reporter Sinorhizobium meliloti Strain
The formation of nitrogen fixing root nodules by Medicago truncatula and Sinorhizobium meliloti requires communication between both organisms and coordinated differentiation of plant and bacterial cells. After an initial signal exchange, the bacteria invade the tissue of the growing nodule via plant-derived tubular structures, called infection threads. The bacteria are released from the infecti...
متن کاملAutoregulation of Sinorhizobium meliloti exoR gene expression
The successful nitrogen-fixing symbiosis between the gram-negative soil bacterium Sinorhizobium meliloti and its leguminous plant host alfalfa (Medicago sativa) requires the bacterial exopolysaccharide succinoglycan. Succinoglycan and flagellum production, along with the ability to metabolize more than 20 different carbon sources and control the expression of a large number of S. meliloti genes...
متن کاملPhosphate assimilation in Rhizobium (Sinorhizobium) meliloti: identification of a pit-like gene.
Rhizobium meliloti mutants defective in the phoCDET-encoded phosphate transport system form root nodules on alfalfa plants that fail to fix nitrogen (Fix-). We have previously reported that two classes of second-site mutations can suppress the Fix- phenotype of phoCDET mutants to Fix+. Here we show that one of these suppressor loci (sfx1) contains two genes, orfA and pit, which appear to form a...
متن کاملConstruction and expression of sugar kinase transcriptional gene fusions by using the Sinorhizobium meliloti ORFeome.
The Sinorhizobium meliloti ORFeome project cloned 6,314 open reading frames (ORFs) into a modified Gateway entry vector system from which the ORFs could be transferred to destination vectors in vivo via bacterial conjugation. In this work, a reporter gene destination vector, pMK2030, was constructed and used to generate ORF-specific transcriptional fusions to beta-glucuronidase (gusA) and green...
