Characterization of Two Sets of Sub - Polar Flagella in Bradyrhizobium Japonicum

Gene Probe Designing for Evaluation of the Diversity of Bradyrhizobium japonicum Isolates

Many researchers consider the use of different probes for hybridization assays as suitable for studying the genetic diversity of nitrogen fixing bacteria. In this study for asessing genetic diversity among Bradyrhizobium japonicum isolates, two different probes (sucA and topA) chosen from the chromosomal genome of Bradyrhizobium strain USDA 110 were designed, evaluated by DNAMAN software and im...

The effect of Trap Plants on the Population Diversity of Bradyrhizobium japonicum

Swimming performance of Bradyrhizobium diazoefficiens is an emergent property of its two flagellar systems.

Many bacterial species use flagella for self-propulsion in aqueous media. In the soil, which is a complex and structured environment, water is found in microscopic channels where viscosity and water potential depend on the composition of the soil solution and the degree of soil water saturation. Therefore, the motility of soil bacteria might have special requirements. An important soil bacteria...

Transcriptional and physiological responses of Bradyrhizobium japonicum to desiccation-induced stress.

The growth and persistence of rhizobia and bradyrhizobia in soils are negatively impacted by drought conditions. In this study, we used genome-wide transcriptional analyses to obtain a comprehensive understanding of the response of Bradyrhizobium japonicum to drought. Desiccation of cells resulted in the differential expression of 15 to 20% of the 8,453 [corrected] B. japonicum open reading fra...
