Isolation and Dna Fingerprinting Analysis of Bacteriophages Specific to Ralstonia Solanacearum

چکیده
The aim of this research work was to analyze the genetic diversity of the lytic bacteriophages isolated against phytopathogenic Ralstonia solanacearum. The 16S rRNA sequence analysis was used for the identification of the bacteria. Four lytic phages: φHMPM12, φHMPMA12,φHMPMB12 and φHMPMC12 specific to R. solanacearum were isolated from sewage sample. The phage φHMPM12 was found more stable in all temperature ranges. Transmission electron microscopic (TEM) analysis was used to determine the morphology of the phages. Electronic microscopic images of phages revealed that bacteriophages have possessed icosahedral head shape of 45-55 nm in diameter and a non-contractile tail of 210-235 nm in length, these morphological similarities of the phages were represents the family Siphoviridae. The RAPD PCR technique was employed with primers OPC04 sequence 5′-CCGCATCTAC3′ and OPC05 sequence 5′-GATGACCGCC-3′ series. The genomic fingerprinting of all the four phages by RAPD PCR revealed the distinct banding patterns. The findings of the study support the use of RAPD PCR technique for the quick typing of phage isolates and assessment of genetic diversity.

Some phages from genus Inovirus use host or bacteriophage-encoded site-specific integrases or recombinases establish a prophage state. During integration or excision, a superinfective form can be produced. The three states (free, prophage, and superinfective) of such phages exert different effects on host bacterial phenotypes. In Ralstonia solanacearum, the causative agent of bacterial wilt dis...

Genomic characterization of Ralstonia solanacearum phage phiRSB1, a T7-like wide-host-range phage.
PhiRSB1 is a wide-host-range, T7-like bacteriophage that infects and efficiently lyses the phytopathogenic bacterium Ralstonia solanacearum. The phiRSB1 genome comprises 43,079 bp of double-stranded DNA (61.7% G+C) with 325-bp terminal repeats and contains 47 open reading frames. Strong activity of tandem early promoters and wide specificity of phage promoters of phiRSB1 were demonstrated.

ABSTRACT The diversity of Ralstonia solanacearum strains isolated from eggplant (Solanum melongena) grown in five provinces of the Philippine island group of Luzon was assessed using a recently described hierarchical system. All strains keyed to race 1, biovar 3 or 4. Phylotype-specific multiplex polymerase chain reaction (PCR) indicated that, like most other strains of Asian origin, all the st...
