tfdA-like genes in 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid-degrading bacteria belonging to the Bradyrhizobium-Agromonas-Nitrobacter-Afipia cluster in alpha-Proteobacteria.
The 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetate (2,4-D)/alpha-ketoglutarate dioxygenase gene (tfdA) homolog designated tfdAalpha was cloned and characterized from 2,4-D-degrading bacterial strain RD5-C2. This Japanese upland soil isolate belongs to the Bradyrhizobium-Agromonas-Nitrobacter-Afipia cluster in the alpha subdivision of the class Proteobacteria on the basis of its 16S ribosomal DNA sequence. Sequence...
متن کاملRoot nodule Bradyrhizobium spp. harbor tfdAalpha and cadA, homologous with genes encoding 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid-degrading proteins.
The distribution of tfdAalpha and cadA, genes encoding 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetate (2,4-D)-degrading proteins which are characteristic of the 2,4-D-degrading Bradyrhizobium sp. isolated from pristine environments, was examined by PCR and Southern hybridization in several Bradyrhizobium strains including type strains of Bradyrhizobium japonicum USDA110 and Bradyrhizobium elkanii USDA94, in phylog...
متن کاملEvidence for interspecies gene transfer in the evolution of 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid degraders.
Small-subunit ribosomal DNA (SSU rDNA) from 20 phenotypically distinct strains of 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D)-degrading bacteria was partially sequenced, yielding 18 unique strains belonging to members of the alpha, beta, and gamma subgroups of the class Proteobacteria. To understand the origin of 2,4-D degradation in this diverse collection, the first gene in the 2,4-D pathway, tfdA...
متن کامل2,4-Dichlorophenoxyacetic acid-degrading bacteria contain mosaics of catabolic genes.
DNA from 32 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D)-degrading bacteria from diverse locations was probed with the first three genes of the well-known 2,4-D degradation pathway found in Alcaligenes eutrophus JMP134(pJP4). The majority of strains did not show high levels of homology to the first three genes of the 2,4-D degradation pathway, tfdA, -B, and -C. Most strains showed combinations of tfd...
متن کاملSlow-growing and oligotrophic soil bacteria phylogenetically close to Bradyrhizobium japonicum
Eleven isolates of slow-growing oligotrophic bacteria from grassland soil were found to be closely related by partial 16S rRNA sequence similarity and many common taxonomic traits. Analysis of full 16S rRNA gene sequences of four representative isolates and Agromonas oligotrophica S58 indicated that they were more closely related to Bradyrhizobium japonicum, a symbiotic nitrogen-fixing bacteriu...
