Generalized transduction in the enterobacterial phytopathogen Erwinia chrysanthemi.
Bacteriophages induced by mitomycin treatment of Erwinia chrysanthemi KS612 produced plaques on lawns of E. chrysanthemi EC183 and KS605. Bacteriophage Erch-12, purified from one such plaque, transferred an array of chromosomal genes (arg, leu, his, ser, thr, trp, ura) to appropriate recipient strains derived from E. chrysanthemi EC 183. Recombinants were formed in the absence of cellular conta...
متن کاملLactose metabolism in Erwinia chrysanthemi.
Wild-type strains of the phytopathogenic enterobacterium Erwinia chrysanthemi are unable to use lactose as a carbon source for growth although they possess a beta-galactosidase activity. Lactose-fermenting derivatives from some wild types, however, can be obtained spontaneously at a frequency of about 5 X 10(-7). All Lac+ derivatives isolated had acquired a constitutive lactose transport system...
متن کاملLactose and melibiose metabolism in Erwinia chrysanthemi.
A Lac+ mutant of Erwinia chrysanthemi was isolated from the Lac- wild type on lactose agar. beta-Galactosidase was expressed independently of lactose transport in both the mutant and the wild type, and neither strain expressed thiogalactoside transacetylase. Lactose transport and alpha-galactosidase, constitutive in the Lac+ strain, were coordinately induced in the Lac- strain by melibiose and ...
متن کاملCharacterization of a tonB mutation in Erwinia chrysanthemi 3937: TonB(Ech) is a member of the enterobacterial TonB family.
The pectinolytic enterobacterium Erwinia chrysanthemi 3937 causes a systemic disease in its natural host, the African violet (Saintpaulia: ionantha). It produces two structurally unrelated siderophores, chrysobactin and achromobactin. Chrysobactin makes a large contribution to invasive growth of the bacterium in its host. Insertion mutants of a chrysobactin-defective strain were constructed and...
متن کاملRelative effects on virulence of mutations in the sap, pel, and hrp loci of Erwinia chrysanthemi.
We constructed strains of Erwinia chrysanthemi EC16 with multiple mutations involving three virulence systems in this bacterium, namely pel (coding for the major pectate lyases pelABCE), hrp (hypersensitive response and pathogenicity), and sap (sensitivity to antimicrobial peptides). The relative effects on virulence of those mutations have been analyzed on potato tubers and chicory leaves. In ...
