用rep-PCR技术研究中国花生根瘤菌的多样性

采用细菌基因组重复序列ＰＣＲ技术（简称ｒｅｐＰＣＲ）中常用的ＲＥＰＰＣＲ和ＥＲＩＣＰＣＲ,对从中国１１个省、市的２３个点、２４个花生品种采集的根瘤中分离的５９株花生根瘤菌Ｂｒａｄｙｒｈｉｚｏｂｉｕｍｓｐ．（Ａｒａｃｈｉｓ）进行多样性研究,同时对来自国外的６株花生根瘤菌及１４株参比慢生根瘤菌也进行了比较。得到的低相似性结果表明中国花生根瘤菌基因组存在显著的多样性。ＲＥＰＰＣＲ揭示,在相似性５０％上分为１１个群,而ＥＲＩＣＰＣＲ却得到２４个分群。这两种结果对菌株的分群有差异,暗示这两种短重复序列在慢生根瘤菌基因组中的分布的不同。没有发现菌株间基因组的多样性分布与花生品种、地理来源之间的必然联系。将两者电泳图谱结合并分析,得到介于上述两者间的结果。此结果进一步反映了菌株基因组间存在的多样性。同时还表明ｒｅｐＰＣＲ不仅是研究生物多样性的快速简便方法,还可应用于菌株的鉴别和生态学研究。

本文应用ＲＡＰＤ技术,选用１１种引物,以嗜酸乳杆菌为对照,对６种１３珠双歧杆菌菌株基因组ＤＮＡ进行ＰＣＲ扩增,分析其ＤＮＡ指纹图谱,并计算其相似性指数。结果表明,双歧杆菌和非双歧杆菌之间,其相似性指数有显著差异;选择合适的引物进行扩增,双歧杆菌不同种间和同种不同株间可表现不同的ＤＮＡ指纹图谱。本文还对ＲＡＰＤ技术应用于双歧杆菌分类鉴定的可能性进行讨论。     

E和St基因组特异RAPD片段在部分小麦族植物中的分布

两个Ｅ基因组（包括Ｅｅ和Ｅｂ）特异ＲＡＰＤ片段和两个Ｓｔ基因组特异ＲＡＰＤ片段的序列分析表明,４个片段均为新的ＤＮＡ克隆片段。染色体原位杂交显示ＯＰＤ１２４４４为区域化连续高度重复序列,而ＯＰＦ０３１２９６（Ｅｂ特异）、ＯＰＢ０８５２５（Ｓｔ特异）、ＯＰＮ０１８１７（Ｓｔ特异）为弥散性高度重复序列。研究还显示：大部分ＤＮＡ高度重复序列在亲缘关系较近的小麦族植物基因组间是共享的,差异可能主要是在重复次数及片段长度上,而能否用ＲＡＰＤ技术扩增主要决定于某一基因组的这些重复序列中有无与特定引物相匹配的区域。文中就这些重复序列在小麦远缘杂交后代外源遗传物质检测、多倍体物种染色体组组成研究中的潜在价值进行了讨论。

Distribution of repetitive DNA sequences in eubacteria and application to fingerprinting of bacterial genomes.

Dispersed repetitive DNA sequences have been described recently in eubacteria. To assess the distribution and evolutionary conservation of two distinct prokaryotic repetitive elements, consensus oligonucleotides were used in polymerase chain reaction [PCR] amplification and slot blot hybridization experiments with genomic DNA from diverse eubacterial species. Oligonucleotides matching Repetitive Extragenic Palindromic [REP] elements and Enterobacterial Repetitive Intergenic Consensus [ERIC] sequences were synthesized and tested as opposing PCR primers in the amplification of eubacterial genomic DNA. REP and ERIC consensus oligonucleotides produced clearly resolvable bands by agarose gel electrophoresis following PCR amplification. These band patterns provided unambiguous DNA fingerprints of different eubacterial species and strains. Both REP and ERIC probes hybridized preferentially to genomic DNA from Gram-negative enteric bacteria and related species. Widespread distribution of these repetitive DNA elements in the genomes of various microorganisms should enable rapid identification of bacterial species and strains, and be useful for the analysis of prokaryotic genomes.     

Characterization of Pseudoalteromonas citrea and P. nigrifaciens isolated from different ecological habitats based on REP-PCR genomic fingerprints

DNA primers corresponding to conserved repetitive interspersed genomic motifs and PCR were used to show that REP, ERIC and BOX-like DNA sequences are present in marine, oxidative, gram-negative Pseudoalteromonas strains. REP, ERIC and BOX-PCR were used for rapid molecular characterization of both the type species of the genus and environmental strains isolated from samples collected in different geographical areas. PCR-generated genomic fingerprint patterns were found to be both complex and strain specific. Analysis of the genotypic structure of phenotypically diverse P. citrea revealed a geographic clustering of Far Eastern brown-pigmented, agar-digesting strains of this species. Marine isolates of P. nigrifaciens with 67-70% DNA relatedness generated genomic patterns different from those of the type strain and formed a separate cluster. It is concluded that REP, ERIC and BOX-PCR are effective in generating strain specific patterns that can be used to elucidate geographic distribution, with these genomic patterns providing a valuable biogeographic criterion.     

采用PCR-RFLP技术在不同水平上鉴定大豆根瘤菌

采用16S rRNA基因PCR扩增与限制性酶切片段多态性分析(RFLP)技术对选自弗氏中华根瘤菌(S.fredii)、大豆慢生根瘤菌(B.japonicum)和埃氏慢生根瘤菌(B.elkanii)的19株代表菌进行了比较分析,根据用3种限制性内切酶的RFLP分析结果,可将供试菌株分为S.fredii,B.japonicum, B.elkanii Ⅱ和B.elkanii Ⅱa等4种基因型。各类菌株之间没有交叉,因此本研究采用的PCR-RFLP技术不失为一种快速鉴别大豆根瘤菌的新方法。采用本技术已将分离自中国的22株快生菌和19株慢生菌分别鉴定为S.fredii和B.japonicum。对供试参比菌株和野生型菌株进行的16S～23S基因间隔DNA(IGS)的PCR-RFLP分析结果表明：S.fredii和B.japonicum菌株的IGS长度不同,所有供试S.fredii菌株的IGS为2.1 kb,而供试B.japonicum菌株则为2.0 kb。依据RFLP的差异,可将来自中国两个不同地区的S.fredii株区分为2个基因型,而来自中国东北黑龙江地区的19株B.japonicum菌株则可分为11个基因型。对上述野生型菌株还进行了REP-PCR和ERIC-PCR分析并确定其具有菌株水平的特异性。     

Intraspecies variability of Desulfovibrio desulfuricans strains determined by the genetic profiles

Fifteen (soil and intestinal) strains of Desulfovibrio desulfuricans species were typed by PCR method with the use of primers specific for repetitive extragenic palindromic (REP) and enterobacterial repetitive intergenic consensus (ERIC) sequences. As a result, characteristic DNA fingerprints for the strains were obtained. Moreover, the genetic profiles were found to be useful for typing and distinguishing the strains of D. desulfuricans. According to cluster analysis, PCR with primers complementary to the sequences REP appeared to be slightly more discriminatory than PCR with ERIC primers for the investigated strains. Distinct fingerprint patterns of two isolates derived from the same patient pointed to the different origin of both strains.     

First evidence for a restriction-modification system in Leptospira sp

Anaplasma marginale genomic DNA was tested for the presence of repetitive extragenic palindromic (REP) and enterobacterial repetitive intergenic consensus (ERIC)-like sequences in order to evaluate the genetic diversity of multiple A. marginale isolates. A. marginale isolates were obtained from cattle of six different states of Brazil, from the US and an Anaplasma centrale strain was obtained from Uruguay. Patterns obtained from A. marginale isolates varied from 14 to 17 fragments by REP-polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and 6 to 14 fragments by ERIC-PCR. All A. marginale isolates presented a 0.75-kb fragment by REP and two common fragments (0.38 and 1.0 kb) by ERIC-PCR. These two fragments were not detectable in A. centrale. Both methods produced similar patterns (80%) among A. marginale isolates obtained from the same region, although some isolates within regions shared less similarity. Isolates from Parana and Pernambuco, were differentiated by these methods. The study demonstrates the presence of ERIC and REP-like elements in A. marginale isolates and shows that A. marginale isolates and strains can be differentiated by these methods.     

Genetic diversity among isolates of Paenibacillus larvae from Austria

Genetic diversity of 214 Paenibacillus larvae strains from Austria was studied. Genotyping of isolates was performed by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) with primers corresponding to enterobacterial repetitive intergenic consensus (ERIC), BOX repetitive and extragenic palindromic (REP) elements (collectively known as rep-PCR) using ERIC primers, BOX A1R and MBO REP1 primers. Using ERIC-PCR technique two genotypes could be differentiated (ERIC I and II), whereas using combined typing by BOX- and REP-PCR, five different genotypes were detected (ab, aB, Ab, AB and αb). Genotypes aB and αb are new and have not been reported in other studies using the same techniques.     

Genetic diversity of fast-growing rhizobia that nodulate soybean ( Glycine max L. Merr)

The fast-growing Rhizobium sp. strain NGR234, isolated from Papua New Guinea, and 13 strains of Sinorhizobium fredii, isolated from China and Vietnam, were fingerprinted by means of RAPD, REP, ERIC and ARDRA. ERIC, REP and RAPD markers revealed a considerable genetic diversity among fast-growing rhizobia. Chinese isolates showed higher levels of diversity than those strains isolated from Vietnam. ARDRA analysis revealed three different genotypes among fast-growing rhizobia that nodulate soybean, even though all belonged to a subcluster that included Sinorhizobium saheli and Sinorhizobium meliloti. Among S. fredii rhizobia, two strains, SMH13 and HH303, might be representatives of other species of nitrogen-fixing organisms. Although restriction analysis of the nifD–nifK intergenic DNA fragment confirmed the unique nature of Rhizobium sp. strain NGR234, several similarities between Rhizobium sp. strain NGR234 and S. fredii USDA257, the ARDRA analysis and the full sequence of the 16S rDNA confirmed that NGR234 is a S. fredii strain. In addition, ARDRA analysis and the full sequence of the 16S rDNA suggested that two strains of rhizobia might be representatives of other species of rhizobia.     

Genetic relationships among strains of Xanthomonas fragariae based on random amplified polymorphic DNA PCR, repetitive extragenic palindromic PCR, and enterobacterial repetitive intergenic consensus PCR data and generation of multiplexed PCR primers useful for the identification of this phytopathogen.

Genetic relationships among 25 isolates of Xanthomonas fragariae from diverse geographic regions were determined by three PCR methods that rely on different amplification priming strategies: random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) PCR, repetitive extragenic palindromic (REP) PCR, and enterobacterial repetitive intergenic consensus (ERIC) PCR. The results of these assays are mutually consistent and indicate that pathogenic strains are very closely related to each other. RAPD, ERIC, and REP PCR assays identified nine, four, and two genotypes, respectively, within X. fragariae isolates. A single nonpathogenic isolate of X. fragariae was not distinguishable by these methods. The results of the PCR assays were also fully confirmed by physiological tests. There was no correlation between DNA amplification product patterns and geographic sites of isolation, suggesting that this bacterium has spread largely through exchange of infected plant germ plasm. Sequences identified through the RAPD assays were used to develop three primer pairs for standard PCR assays to identify X. fragariae. In addition, we developed a stringent multiplexed PCR assay to identify X. fragariae by simultaneously using the three independently derived sets of primers specific for pathogenic strains of the bacteria.     

Strain-specific fingerprints of Rhizobium galegae generated by PCR with arbitrary and repetitive primers

Strain-specific genomic patterns of Rhizobium galegae were generated by PCR using both arbitrary and repetitive (BOX, ERIC and REP) primers. The identification of the strains was achieved also by RFLP analysis. However, the PCR genomic fingerprinting has significant advantages: it is not only simpler and faster, but it is also much more discriminative because it deals with the full bacterial genome and not only with parts of it as is the case with RFLP. In addition, both kinds of PCR fingerprinting (using arbitrary or repetitive primers) generated highly specific and reproducible patterns when parallel reactions with total bacterial DNA, extracted from independent liquid cultures were performed. The latter shows that AP- and rep-PCR are convenient for controlling the production and application of Rhizobium inoculants.
