在本室以前的研究中,海南快生根瘤菌具有分类上的多型性。其一部分归于已知各根瘤菌种,另有一部分菌株构成独立的表观群及相应的ＤＮＡ同源群（亚群Ⅱ和Ⅳ）。本文采用不同的电泳方法,分析了海南快生根瘤菌和已知根瘤菌种的代表共５５个菌株的全细胞蛋白、酯酶、过氧化物酶及质粒组成。结果表明：同一亚群的菌株间有相似的蛋白图谱,种群之间有较明显的差异,根瘤菌中普遍存在酯酶,酶带的数量和迁移率具有菌株专一性,更适合于苗株的鉴别。过氧化物酶只在部分菌株中观察到,亚群Ⅱ与亚群Ⅳ的菌株均显示一条酶带,但二者之间的相对迁移率有明显差别。质粒电泳中,大多数海南快生菌中存在着大质粒,分子量范围是２０－４０００Ｋｂ,同一亚群中的不同菌株间具有一定相似性,这些结果为海南快生型根瘤菌的分类提供了一些辅助证据。

Clonal population structure of Pseudomonas stutzeri, a species with exceptional genetic diversity

Genetic diversity and genetic relationships among 42 Pseudomonas stutzeri strains belonging to several genomovars and isolated from different sources were investigated in an examination of 20 metabolic enzymes by multilocus enzyme electrophoresis analysis. Forty-two distinct allele profiles were identified, indicating that all multilocus genotypes were represented by a single strain. All 20 loci were exceptionally polymorphic, with an average of 15.9 alleles per locus. To the best of our knowledge, this P. stutzeri sample exhibited the highest mean genetic diversity (H = 0.876) found to date in all bacterial species studied by multilocus enzyme electrophoresis. A high frequency of occurrence of null alleles was identified. The index of association (I(A)) for the P. stutzeri strains analyzed was 1.10. The I(A) values were always significantly different from zero for all subgroups studied, including clinical and environmental isolates and strains classified as genomovar 1. These results suggest that the population structure of P. stutzeri is strongly clonal, indicating that there is no significant level of assortative recombination that might destroy linkage disequilibrium.     

A comparative study of enzyme variation in Bacillus cereus and Bacillus thuringiensis

Thirty-two strains of Bacillus spp. were examined in a multilocus enzyme study by agarose gel electrophoresis. The organisms were Bacillus thuringiensis (21 strains, B. cereus (8), including two of var. mycoides, and B. megaterium (3). Strains having similar enzyme variants were grouped into zymovars. A total of 10 of 11 enzyme loci studied were polymorphic and 27 zymovars were distinguished among the 32 strains. The results were subjected to numerical analysis, phenetic affinities and genetic distances between the strains were calculated. The numerical analysis was unable to differentiate between B. thuringiensis and B. cereus. Our results indicated that based on this multilocus enzyme study these zymovars should be considered as belonging to the same species. A mycoides variant of B. cereus was the most distinctive strain studied and clearly belonged to a separate species, B. mycoides. The technique also allowed for identification of contamination and mislabelling of strains.     

Population genetic structure of Sinorhizobium meliloti and S. medicae isolated from nodules of Medicago spp. in Mexico

We studied the genetic structure of 176 bacterial isolates from nodules of Medicago sativa, M. lupulina and M. polymorpha in fifteen sites distributed in three localities in Mexico. The strains were characterized by multilocus enzyme electrophoresis, plasmid profiles, PCR restriction fragment length polymorphism of 16S rRNA genes and of the intergenic spacer between 16S and 23S rRNA genes, and partial sequences of glnII, recA and nodB. Most of the strains were classified as Sinorhizobium meliloti, and a high genetic diversity was recorded. Six strains were classified as Sinorhizobium medicae, with no genetic variation. Phylogenetic and population genetic analyses revealed evidence of frequent recombination and migration within species.

Strains of Mesorhizobium amorphae and Mesorhizobium tianshanense, carrying symbiotic genes of common chickpea endosymbiotic species, constitute a novel biovar (ciceri) capable of nodulating Cicer arietinum

AIMS: To identify several strains of Mesorhizobium amorphae and Mesorhizobium tianshanense nodulating Cicer arietinum in Spain and Portugal, and to study the symbiotic genes carried by these strains. METHODS AND RESULTS: The sequences of 16S-23S intergenic spacer (ITS), 16S rRNA gene and symbiotic genes nodC and nifH were analysed. According to their 16S rRNA gene and ITS sequences, the strains from this study were identified as M. amorphae and M. tianshanense. The type strains of these species were isolated in China from Glycyrrhiza pallidiflora and Amorpha fruticosa nodules, respectively, and are not capable of nodulating chickpea. These strains carry symbiotic genes, phylogenetically divergent from those of the chickpea isolates, whose nodC and nifH genes showed more than 99% similarity with respect to those from Mesorhizobium ciceri and Mesorhizobium mediterraneum, the two common chickpea nodulating species in Spain and Portugal. CONCLUSIONS: The results from this study showed that different symbiotic genes have been acquired by strains from the same species during their coevolution with different legumes in distinct geographical locations. SIGNIFICANCE AND IMPACT OF THE STUDY: A new infrasubspecific division named biovar ciceri is proposed within M. amorphae and M. tianshanense to include the strains able to effectively nodulate Cicer arietinum.     

疫毒蛋白质的聚丙烯酰胺凝胶盘状电泳

Simultaneous carriage of Candida albicans strains from HIV-infected patients with oral candidiasis: multilocus enzyme electrophoresis analysis

Abstract Genetic diversity of 160 Candida albicans isolates from the oral cavity of 16 HIV-infected adults prior to antifungal treatment was assessed using multilocus enzyme electrophoresis (10 C. albicans colonies were randomly chosen from each specimen culture). 20 electrophoretic types were distinguished from the analysis of 21 enzyme loci (10 were polymorphic). Five patients (31%) were found to be colonized by 2 or 3 genetically distinct strains. Nevertheless, in these five cases, one strain predominated (from 7 to 9 of the 10 colonies). Some HIV + patients with oral candidiasis appear to be simultaneously infected with several genetically different C. albicans strains before antifungal treatment.     

Genotypic Diversity among Bacillus cereus and Bacillus thuringiensis Strains

Twenty-four strains of Bacillus cereus were analyzed by pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE) and compared with 12 Bacillus thuringiensis strains. In addition, the 36 strains were examined for variation in 15 chromosomal genes encoding enzymes (by multilocus enzyme electrophoresis [MEE]). The genome of each strain had a distinct NotI restriction enzyme digestion profile by PFGE, and the 36 strains could be assigned to 27 multilocus genotypes by MEE. However, neither PFGE nor MEE analysis could distinguish between the two species. Two of the B. cereus strains contained extrachromosomal DNA that hybridized to a cryIA insecticidal toxin probe, and seven strains contained DNA with homology to a Tn4430 transposon probe derived from B. thuringiensis. The results strongly indicate that B. cereus and B. thuringiensis should be regarded as one species.     

黄土高原根瘤菌数值分类及DNA-DNA杂交

黄土高原位于我国内陆,气候比较干旱,生长的植被较少,水土流失严重,而有些豆科植物如锦鸡儿(Caragana sinica)、苦豆子(Sophora alopecuroides)、甘草(Glycyrrhiza uralensis)、苦马豆(Swainsoniasalsula)、洋槐(Robinia pseudoacacia)等却能很好生长.这些豆科植物的生长,在防风固沙、保持水土、绿化环境、作为饲用牧草等方面起着很重要的作用.但人们对于黄土高原野生豆科植物根瘤菌的研究尚很少.为此,作者在地处黄土高原的陕西、宁夏及甘肃的部分地区进行了广泛的根瘤菌资源调查.在此基础上,对分离的部分菌株进行了数值分类和DNA同源性分析.     

Rhizobium tropici, a novel species nodulating Phaseolus vulgaris L. beans and Leucaena sp. trees.

A new Rhizobium species that nodulates Phaseolus vulgaris L. and Leucaena spp. is proposed on the basis of the results of multilocus enzyme electrophoresis, DNA-DNA hybridization, an analysis of ribosomal DNA organization, a sequence analysis of 16S rDNA, and an analysis of phenotypic characteristics. This taxon, Rhizobium tropici sp. nov., was previously named Rhizobium leguminosarum biovar phaseoli (type II strains) and was recognized by its host range (which includes Leucaena spp.) and nif gene organization. In contrast to R. leguminosarum biovar phaseoli, R. tropici strains tolerate high temperatures and high levels of acidity in culture and are symbiotically more stable. We identified two subgroups within R. tropici and describe them in this paper.
