Rhizobium tropici and Riboflavin Amendment Condition Arbuscular Mycorrhiza Colonization in Phaseolus vulgaris L.

Rhizobium tropici, a novel species nodulating Phaseolus vulgaris L. beans and Leucaena sp. trees.

A new Rhizobium species that nodulates Phaseolus vulgaris L. and Leucaena spp. is proposed on the basis of the results of multilocus enzyme electrophoresis, DNA-DNA hybridization, an analysis of ribosomal DNA organization, a sequence analysis of 16S rDNA, and an analysis of phenotypic characteristics. This taxon, Rhizobium tropici sp. nov., was previously named Rhizobium leguminosarum biovar ph...

Characterization of a Rhizobium etli chromosomal gene required for nodule development on Phaseolus vulgaris L.

A chromosomal gene, required for nodule development on Phaseolus bean, was characterized from Rhizobium etli strain TAL182. MLC640 is a Tn5 insertion mutant of TAL182 which shows decreased motility in soft TY agar and is defective in nodule development. The site of Tn5 insertion in MLC640 mapped to a 3.6-kb EcoRI chromosomal fragment. The 3.6-kb fragment was subcloned from the cosmid pUHR80 whi...

Rhizobium gallicum sp. nov. and Rhizobium giardinii sp. nov., from Phaseolus vulgaris nodules.

Thirty-one strains of two new genomic species (genomic species 1 and 2) of rhizobia isolated from root nodules of Phaseolus vulgaris and originating from various locations in France were compared with reference strains of rhizobia by performing a numerical analysis of 64 phenotypic features. Each genomic species formed a distinct phenon and was separated from the other rhizobial species. A comp...

Studies of l-Cysteine Biosynthetic Enzymes in Phaseolus vulgaris L.

In higher plants the biosynthesis of l-cysteine from l-serine, acetylCoA, and sulfide requires serine transacetylase and O-acetylserine sulfhydrylase. The distribution of these enzymes in kidney bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L. cv. Red Kidney) seedlings was determined. Between one-third and two-thirds of the serine transacetylase activity was associated with mitochondria, whereas all of the O-acetyl...
