Surface Properties of Wild-Type Rhizobium leguminosarum bv. trifolii Strain 24.2 and Its Derivatives with Different Extracellular Polysaccharide Content
Rhizobium leguminosarum bv. trifolii is a soil bacterium able to establish symbiosis with agriculturally important legumes, i.e., clover plants (Trifolium spp.). Cell surface properties of rhizobia play an essential role in their interaction with both biotic and abiotic surfaces. Physicochemical properties of bacterial cells are underpinned by the chemical composition of their envelope surround...
متن کاملReexamination of the presence and linkage of 3-hydroxybutyryl substituents in the acidic capsular polysaccharide of Rhizobium trifolii 0403.
We resolved previous conflicting results concerning the presence of 3-hydroxybutyryl substituents on the extracellular acidic polysaccharide from Rhizobium trifolii 0403. These substituents were indeed present in the polysaccharide and in the oligosaccharide fragments obtained by hydrogen fluoride solvolysis of the extracellular and capsular polysaccharides of the bacteria grown on plates. The ...
متن کاملMolecular mechanism for loss of nodulation properties of Rhizobium trifolii.
Of 18 Rhizobium trifolii strains tested, 12 showed a high frequency of loss of nodulation ability after incubation in cultures at elevated temperatures. A correlation between loss of nodulation ability and loss of a large plasmid was demonstrated for R. trifolii. In some nonnodulating (Nod-) mutants, deletions occurred instead of total elimination of the plasmid molecule. The maximum curing eff...
متن کاملMutant strains of clover rhizobium (Rhizobium trifolii) that form nodules on soybean (Glycine max).
Mutant strains of Rhizobium trifolii that induce nitrogenase activity in the free-living state were isolated. These strains, unlike the wild type, nodulated soybean and mungbean plants, producing effective nodules. One of the strains, strain DT72, also nodulated clover but the nodules were ineffective. Strain DT125 consumed hydrogen gas from the gas phase, which can be coupled to nitrogenase ac...
متن کاملSome bacteriophages active against Rhizobium trifolii strain W19.
Fourteen soil bacteriophages active against Rhizobium trifolii W19 have been studied which fall into four structural groups. Group 1 phages have contractile tails. Some particles show double base plates to which at least three spikes are attached, and fibers are attached to the base plates. Group 2 phages also have contractile tails. At least five spikes are attached to the base plate, and ther...
