Genetic transformation of Rhizobium leguminosarum by plasmid DNA.
نویسندگان
چکیده
We demonstrated the genetic transformation of Rhizobium leguminosarum by R68.45 plasmid DNA by freezing and thawing cell suspensions in the presence of R68.45 plasmid DNA and 20 mM MgCl2. Clones resistant to kanamycin and tetracycline were recovered at a frequency of 10(-8) per recipient cell. No colonies that were doubly drug resistant were recovered in parallel control experiments.

High-efficiency transformation of Rhizobium leguminosarum by electroporation.
Electrotransformation of Rhizobium leguminosarum was successfully carried out with a 15.1-kb plasmid, pMP154 (Cmr), containing a nodABC-lacZ fusion by electroporation. The maximum transformation efficiency, 10(8) transformants/microg of DNA, was achieved at a field strength of 14 kV/cm with a pulse of 7.3 ms (186 Omega). The number of transformants was found to increase with increasing cell den...
متن کاملRhizobium gone native: unexpected plasmid stability of indigenous Rhizobium leguminosarum.
Lateral transfer of bacterial plasmids is thought to play an important role in microbial evolution and population dynamics. However, this assumption is based primarily on investigations of medically or agriculturally important bacterial species. To explore the role of lateral transfer in the evolution of bacterial systems not under intensive, human-mediated selection, we examined the associatio...
متن کاملSymbiotic plasmid rearrangement in Rhizobium leguminosarum bv. viciae VF39SM.
A rearrangement between the symbiotic plasmid (pRleVF39d) and a nonsymbiotic plasmid (pRleVF39b) in Rhizobium leguminosarum bv. viciae VF39 was observed. The rearranged derivative showed the same plasmid profile as its parent strain, but hybridization to nod, fix, and nif genes indicated that most of the symbiotic genes were now present on a plasmid corresponding in size to pRleVF39b instead of...
متن کاملExpression of large plasmids in the endosymbiotic form of Rhizobium leguminosarum.
Isolated plasmid DNA from Rhizobium leguminosarum was hybridised with cellular RNA from broth-cultured bacteria and endosymbiotic bacteroids. From these hybridisation, experiments it is concluded that plasmid genes are strongly expressed in bacteroids and only weakly or not at all in bacteria. From the hybridisation of plasmid DNA with the cloned structural nif genes of Klebsiella pneumoniae it...
متن کاملQuorum-sensing-regulated transcriptional initiation of plasmid transfer and replication genes in Rhizobium leguminosarum biovar viciae.
Transfer of the Rhizobium leguminosarum biovar viciae symbiosis plasmid pRL1JI is regulated by a cascade of gene induction involving three LuxR-type quorum-sensing regulators, TraR, BisR and CinR. TraR induces the plasmid transfer traI-trb operon in a population-density-dependent manner in response to N-acylhomoserine lactones (AHLs) made by TraI. Expression of the traR gene is primarily induce...
