Chemotaxis of Rhizobium leguminosarum biovar phaseoli towards Flavonoid Inducers of the Symbiotic Nodulation Genes
Chemotaxis of Rhizobium leguminosarum biovar phaseoli RP8002 towards a range of carbohydrates, phenolic compounds and flavonoids was assayed. Xylose (peak response M) were strong chemoattractants amongst the carbohydrates, whilst glucose, fructose, galactose and maltose produced little or no detectable response. Of the monocyclic phenolic compounds, vanillyl alcohol, p-hydroxybenzoic acid (both...
متن کاملSurvival of Rhizobium phaseoli in Coal-Based Legume Inoculants.
The long-term survival of Rhizobium phaseoli strains 127K17, 127K26, and 127K35 in legume inoculants prepared with eight different coals (one strain and one coal per inoculant) was studied. The coals used were Pennsylvania anthracite, bituminous coals from Illinois, Pennsylvania, and Utah, lignite from North Dakota and Texas, and subbituminous coals from New Mexico and Wyoming; they ranged in p...
متن کاملRhizobium meliloti Nodulation Genes: Identification of nodDABC
A set of conserved, or common, bacterial nodulation (nod) loci is required for host plant infection by Rhizobium melioti and other Rhizobium species. Four such genes, nodDABC, have beeii indicated in R. meliloti 021'by genetic analysis and DNA sequencing. An essential step toward Iunderstanding the function of these genes is to characterize their protein products. We used in vitro and maxicell ...
متن کاملThe Evolution of Nodulation in Rhizobium: Altruism in the Rhizosphere
It has been suggested (Jimenez and Casadesus 1989) that there is no obvious direct selective force maintaining the ability of Rhizobium to form nodules and fix nitrogen with legumes. We propose that these bacteria are favored to differentiate into nodules and thereby sacrifice their own reproduction in order to aid their kin living in nearby soil. After infecting a suitable host, rhizobia multi...
متن کاملMolecular mechanism for loss of nodulation properties of Rhizobium trifolii.
Of 18 Rhizobium trifolii strains tested, 12 showed a high frequency of loss of nodulation ability after incubation in cultures at elevated temperatures. A correlation between loss of nodulation ability and loss of a large plasmid was demonstrated for R. trifolii. In some nonnodulating (Nod-) mutants, deletions occurred instead of total elimination of the plasmid molecule. The maximum curing eff...
