چکیده
The dynamic response of cellular carbohydrates to a NaCl shock in Rhizobium leguminosarum biovar trifolii TA1 (0.25 M-NaCI) and Rhizobium meliloti SU-47 (0.4 M-NaCl) grown in NaC1-free medium was investigated in nongrowing cell cultures and in cell suspensions, using in vivo NMR. After transferring cells grown in a NaC1-free medium to a glutamic-acid-free medium containing mannitol and NaCI, both strains immediately responded to the increased osmotic pressure by augmenting the cellular trehalose content of the cell. Without mannitol in the medium trehalose synthesis was slower, but clearly detectable. Its synthesis paralleled the breakdown of the reserve materials glycogen and poly-P-hydroxybutyric acid (PHB). NMR experiments with 25-fold-concentrated cell suspensions using '3C,-mannitol as substrate revealed that 15-20 % of the trehalose synthesized was derived from mannitol, but 8&85% was from other sources. Trehalose was mainly formed from the internal pool of glycogen and/or PHB, whether mannitol was present or not, and reached 135 and 280 pg (mg cell protein)-' in the strains TA-1 and SU-47, respectively. At low osmolarity, intracellular trehalose was metabolized by strains TA-1 and SU47. Intracellularly accumulated phosphoglycerol-substituted and neutral cyclic (1,2)-/?-glucans of SU-47 cells grown in the absence of NaCl were neither degraded nor excreted after exposure to NaC1. Strain TA-1, which only makes neutral cyclic (1,2)-P-glucans, continued to synthesize and excrete cyclic (1,2)-P-glucans after exposure to NaCI. By using in vivo 31P-NMR, a sharp peak at 1-34 p.p.m. was present in cell suspensions of strain SU-47. This peak, representing glycerol-1-phosphate-substituted cyclic glucans, was absent in strain TA-1.

Direct amplification of nodD from community DNA reveals the genetic diversity of Rhizobium leguminosarum in soil.
Sequences of nodD, a gene found only in rhizobia, were amplified from total community DNA isolated from a pasture soil. The polymerase chain reaction (PCR) primers used, Y5 and Y6, match nodD from Rhizobium leguminosarum biovar trifolii, R. leguminosarum biovar viciae and Sinorhizobium meliloti. The PCR product was cloned and yielded 68 clones that were identified by restriction pattern as deri...

Identification of Rhizobium and Bradyrhizobium strains and especially of indigenous isolates continues to be one of the major difficulties associated with competition studies. Because there is no universally accepted method, the method of choice depends on preference, experience, and equipment. Here, an agar plate technique was used to distinguish strains and field isolates of Rhizobium legumin...
