Roles of flagella, lipopolysaccharide, and a Ca2+-dependent cell surface protein in attachment of Rhizobium leguminosarum biovar viciae to pea root hair tips.
نویسندگان
چکیده
The relationship between Ca2+-dependent cell surface components of Rhizobium leguminosarum biovar viciae, motility, and ability to attach to pea root hair tips was investigated. In contrast to flagella and lipopolysaccharide, a small protein located on the cell surface was identified as the Ca2+-dependent adhesin.

Lectin-enhanced accumulation of manganese-limited Rhizobium leguminosarum cells on pea root hair tips.
The ability of Rhizobium leguminosarum 248 to attach to developing Pisum sativum root hairs was investigated during various phases of bacterial growth in yeast extract-mannitol medium. Direct cell counting revealed that growth of the rhizobia transiently stopped three successive times during batch culture in yeast extract-mannitol medium. These interruptions of growth, as well as the simultaneo...

The lipopolysaccharide (LPS) of the Gram-negative legume symbiont Rhizobium leguminosarum biovar viciae 3,841 contains several unique modifications, including the addition of a 27-hydroxyoctacosanoic acid (27OHC28 : 0), also termed the very long chain fatty acid (VLCFA), attached at the 2' position of lipid A. A transposon mutant that lacks expression of two putative 3-oxo-acyl [acyl-carrier pr...

Sciences, University of East Anglia, Norwich NR4 7TJ, UK 2 School of Biological Analysis of the nodulation characteristics of transposon-induced mutants of Rhizobium leguminosarum bv. viciae revealed that nodO and the closely-linked rhi genes contribute t o nodulation of peas (Pisum sativum) and the vetch Vicia hirsuta. Although mutation of nodO alone had no significant effect on nodulation of ...
متن کاملLight regulates attachment, exopolysaccharide production, and nodulation in Rhizobium leguminosarum through a LOV-histidine kinase photoreceptor.
Rhizobium leguminosarum is a soil bacterium that infects root hairs and induces the formation of nitrogen-fixing nodules on leguminous plants. Light, oxygen, and voltage (LOV)-domain proteins are blue-light receptors found in higher plants and many algae, fungi, and bacteria. The genome of R. leguminosarum bv. viciae 3841, a pea-nodulating endosymbiont, encodes a sensor histidine kinase contain...

Ethylene inhibits nodulation in various legumes. In order to investigate strategies employed by Rhizobium to regulate nodulation, the 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylate (ACC) deaminase gene was isolated and characterized from one of the ACC deaminase-producing rhizobia, Rhizobium leguminosarum bv. viciae 128C53K. ACC deaminase degrades ACC, the immediate precursor of ethylene in higher plants. T...
