DNA homology, redundancy and genome size of four Rhizobium bacteriophages.

چکیده
Rapidly reannealing DNA, containing repeated base sequences, was shown to be present in the genomes of four Rhizobium bacteriophages by studies of renaturation kinetics. Estimations of the mol. wt. of the DNA by measurement of kinetic complexity gave values of I "3 × IoS for phage c, 1.6 × lO 8 for phage I, 9"4 × lO7 for phage e and 8.2 × io 7 for phage a. Comparison of the phage DNAs by annealing studies confirmed the classification of the phages into two groups.

Narrow-host-range bacteriophages that infect Rhizobium etli associate with distinct genomic types.
In this work, we isolated and characterized 14 bacteriophages that infect Rhizobium etli. They were obtained from rhizosphere soil of bean plants from agricultural lands in Mexico using an enrichment method. The host range of these phages was narrow but variable within a collection of 48 R. etli strains. We obtained the complete genome sequence of nine phages. Four phages were resistant to seve...
متن کاملLack of DNA Homology between the Legume GLYCINE MAX and Its Symbiotic Rhizobium Bacteria.
Any common genes of Glycine max and its symbiotic rhizobium bacteria 61A76 represent less than 0.6% of the bacterial genome. Thus, if any sizable exchange of DNA between host and symbiote occurs it must result in unstable DNA association which is lost with subsequent generations.
متن کاملThe partitioned Rhizobium etli genome: genetic and metabolic redundancy in seven interacting replicons.
We report the complete 6,530,228-bp genome sequence of the symbiotic nitrogen fixing bacterium Rhizobium etli. Six large plasmids comprise one-third of the total genome size. The chromosome encodes most functions necessary for cell growth, whereas few essential genes or complete metabolic pathways are located in plasmids. Chromosomal synteny is disrupted by genes related to insertion sequences,...
متن کاملA Study of 33 Bacteriophages of Rhizobium meliloti.
A total of 33 Rhizobium meliloti bacteriophages were studied. Of those, 21 were isolated in northern France from field soil in which Medicago sativa L. was grown. The other 12 phages were obtained by UV light and mitomycin C induction from 46 R. meliloti strains. Rhizobiophages were characterized by their morphology, host range, serological properties, restriction endonuclease patterns, DNA-DNA...
متن کاملClassification of Austrian rhizobia and the Mexican isolate FL27 obtained from Phaseolus vulgaris L. as Rhizobium gallicum.
The phylogenetic positions of four rhizobial strains obtained from nodules of common bean plants (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) grown in an Austrian soil and of the Mexican bean isolate FL27 are described. Analysis of the 16S rRNA genes revealed sequences almost identical to that of the Rhizobium gallicum type strain, R602sp, with a maximum of two nucleotide substitutions. Comparison of the 16S rRNA g...
