Expression of large plasmids in the endosymbiotic form of Rhizobium leguminosarum.

چکیده
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 is shown that at least part of the nif genes are located on a plasmid.

A gene encoding a homolog to the cation diffusion facilitator protein DmeF from Cupriavidus metallidurans has been identified in the genome of Rhizobium leguminosarum UPM791. The R. leguminosarum dmeF gene is located downstream of an open reading frame (designated dmeR) encoding a protein homologous to the nickel- and cobalt-responsive transcriptional regulator RcnR from Escherichia coli.

متن کاملGenomic Diversity in the Endosymbiotic Bacterium Rhizobium leguminosarum
Rhizobium leguminosarum bv. viciae is a soil α-proteobacterium that establishes a diazotrophic symbiosis with different legumes of the Fabeae tribe. The number of genome sequences from rhizobial strains available in public databases is constantly increasing, although complete, fully annotated genome structures from rhizobial genomes are scarce. In this work, we report and analyse the complete g...
متن کاملConservation of plasmid-encoded traits among bean-nodulating Rhizobium species.
Rhizobium etli type strain CFN42 contains six plasmids. We analyzed the distribution of genetic markers from some of these plasmids in bean-nodulating strains belonging to different species (Rhizobium etli, Rhizobium gallicum, Rhizobium giardinii, Rhizobium leguminosarum, and Sinorhizobium fredii). Our results indicate that independent of geographic origin, R. etli strains usually share not onl...
متن کاملGenetic transformation of Rhizobium leguminosarum by plasmid DNA.
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.
متن کاملGenetics and biotechnology of the H(2)-uptake [NiFe] hydrogenase from Rhizobium leguminosarum bv. viciae, a legume endosymbiotic bacterium.
A limited number of strains belonging to several genera of Rhizobiaceae are capable of expressing a hydrogenase system that allows partial or full recycling of hydrogen evolved by nitrogenase, thus increasing the energy efficiency of the nitrogen fixation process. This review is focused on the genetics and biotechnology of the hydrogenase system from Rhizobium leguminosarum bv. viciae, a freque...
