Forty-six Rhizobium isolates from legume root and stem nodules were examined for their phosphate-solubilizing ability on Pikovskaya’s agar medium.
Rhizobium isolates from root nodules of Cassia absus, Vigna trilobata and three strains from Sesbania sesban showed zone of tricalcium phosphate (TCP) solubilization. The isolate from C. absus showed maximum solubilization (620 μg/ml) after 12 d of incubation, while the Rhizobium sp. strain 26 (from S. sesban) showed the least amount (150 μg/ml) of phosphate solubilization. Among the carbon sources tested for their ability to solubilize
TCP, maximum solubilization (620 μg/ml) was observed in glucose by Rhizobium isolate from C. absus. Phosphate solubilization increased with increase in glucose concentration steeply up to 2% and slowly
above this concentration in four isolates. Among the nitrogen sources tested, maximum solubilization (620 μg/ml) was observed
in ammonium sulphate by Rhizobium isolate from C. absus. 相似文献

Polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs) are hydroxyalkanoate polymers that are produced and accumulate by many kinds of bacteria. These
polymers act as an energy store for bacteria. Polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB) is the most studied polymer in the PHA family. These
polymers have awakened interest in the environmental and industrial research areas because they are biodegradable and have
thermoplastic qualities, like polypropylene. In this work, we analyzed the PHB production in Bradyrhizobium sp., Rhizobium leguminosarum bv. phaseoli, and Rhizobium huautlense cultured with two different carbon sources. We did biochemical quantification of PHB production during the three phases of
growth. Moreover, these samples were used for RNA extraction and phbC gene expression analysis via real-time PCR. The bacteria showed different manner of growth, PHB accumulation and phbC gene expression when different quantity and quality of carbon sources were used. These results showed that under different
growth media conditions, the growth and metabolism of different species of bacteria were influenced. These differences reflect
the increase or decrease in PHB accumulation. 相似文献

Agrobacterium tumefaciens-mediated transformation (ATMT) is the preferred technique for gene transfer into crops. A major disadvantage of the technology
remains the complexity of the patent landscape that surrounds ATMT which restricts its use for commercial applications. An
alternative system has been described (Broothaerts et al. in Nature 433:629-633, 2005) detailing the propensity of three rhizobia to transform the model crop Arabidopsis thaliana, the non-food crop Nicotiana tabacum and, at a very low frequency, the monocotyledonous crop Oryza sativa. In this report we describe for the first time the genetic transformation of Solanum
tuberosum using the non-Agrobacterium species Sinorhizobium meliloti, Rhizobium sp. NGR234 and Mesorhizobium
loti. This was achieved by combining an optimal bacterium and host co-cultivation period with a low antibiotic regime during the
callus and shoot induction stages. Using this optimized protocol the transformation frequency (calculated as % of shoots equipped
with root systems with the ability to grow in rooting media supplemented with 25 μg/ml hygromycin) of the rhizobia strains
was calculated at 4.72, 5.85 and 1.86% for S. meliloti, R. sp. NGR234 and M. loti respectively, compared to 47.6% for the A. tumefaciens control. Stable transgene integration and expression was confirmed via southern hybridisation, quantitative PCR analysis
and histochemical screening of both leaf and/or tuber tissue. In light of the rapid advances in potato genomics, combined
with the sequencing of the potato genome, the ability of alternative bacteria species to genetically transform this major
food crop will provide a novel resource to the Solanaceae community as it continues to develop potato as both a food and non-food crop. 相似文献

Aims
To identify Rhizobium strains’ ability to biocontrol Sclerotium rolfsii, a fungus that causes serious damage to the common bean and other important crops, 78 previously isolated rhizobia from common bean were assessed.Methods
Dual cultures, volatiles, indole-acetic acid (IAA), siderophore production and 16S rRNA sequencing were employed to select strains for pot and field experiments.Results
Thirty-three antagonistic strains were detected in dual cultures, 16 of which were able to inhibit ≥84% fungus mycelial growth. Antagonistic strains produced up to 36.5 μg mL?1 of IAA, and a direct correlation was verified between IAA production and mycelium inhibition. SEMIA 460 inhibited 45% of mycelial growth through volatile compounds. 16S rRNA sequences confirmed strains as Rhizobium species. In pot condition, common bean plants grown on S. rolfsii-infested soil and inoculated with SEMIA 4032, 4077, 4088, 4080, 4085, or 439 presented less or no disease symptoms. The most efficient strains under field conditions, SEMIA 439 and 4088, decreased disease incidence by 18.3 and 14.5% of the S. rolfsii-infested control.Conclusions
Rhizobium strains could be strong antagonists towards S. rolfsii growth. SEMIA 4032, 4077, 4088, 4080, 4085, and 439 are effective in the biological control of the collar rot of the common bean.6.
Two repeated DNA sequences isolated from a partial genomic DNA library of Helianthus annuus, p HaS13 and p HaS211, were shown to represent portions of the int gene of a Ty3 /gypsy retroelement and of the RNase-Hgene of a Ty1 /copia retroelement, respectively. Southern blotting patterns obtained by hybridizing the two probes to BglII- or DraI-digested genomic DNA from different Helianthus species showed p HaS13 and p HaS211 were parts of dispersed repeats at least 8 and 7 kb in length, respectively, that were conserved in all species studied. Comparable hybridization patterns were obtained in all species with p HaS13. By contrast, the patterns obtained by hybridizing p HaS211 clearly differentiated annual species from perennials. The frequencies of p HaS13- and p HaS211-related sequences in different species were 4.3x10(4)-1.3x10(5) copies and 9.9x10(2)-8.1x10(3) copies per picogram of DNA, respectively. The frequency of p HaS13-related sequences varied widely within annual species, while no significant difference was observed among perennial species. Conversely, the frequency variation of p HaS211-related sequences was as large within annual species as within perennials. Sequences of both families were found to be dispersed along the length of all chromosomes in all species studied. However, Ty3 /gypsy-like sequences were localized preferentially at the centromeric regions, whereas Ty1/ copia-like sequences were less represented or absent around the centromeres and plentiful at the chromosome ends. These findings suggest that the two sequence families played a role in Helianthusgenome evolution and species divergence, evolved independently in the same genomic backgrounds and in annual or perennial species, and acquired different possible functions in the host genomes. 相似文献

Based on its ability to produce lactic acid from glucose in mineral salt medium under anaerobic conditions, genetic modifications
on Corynebacterium glutamicum Res 167 were carried out with the aim of producing optical pure D-lactic acid, involving the knockout of L-lactate dehydrogenase
gene from C. glutamicum and the heterologous expression of D-lactate dehydrogenase gene from Lactobacillus bulgaricus into C. glutamicum. D-lactic acid production of the genetically engineered strain C. glutamicum Res 167Δldh/ldhA was 17.92 g/l (optical purity higher than 99.9%) after 16 h fermentation, which was 32.25% higher than the lactic acid production
of the parental strain. 相似文献

Biocontrol of the root-knot nematode Meloidogyne javanica was studied on lentil using plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) namely Pseudomonas putida, P. alcaligenes, Paenibacillus polymyxa and Bacillus pumilus and root nodule bacterium Rhizobium sp. Pseudomonas putida caused greater inhibitory effect on the hatching and penetration of M. javanica followed by P. alcaligenes, P. polymyxa and B. pumilus. Inoculation of any PGPR species alone or together with Rhizobium increased plant growth both in M. javanica-inoculated and -uninoculated plants. Inoculation of Rhizobum caused greater increase in plant growth than caused by any species of plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria in nematode-inoculated
plants. Among PGPR, P. putida caused greater increase in plant growth and higher reduction in galling and nematode multiplication followed by P. alcaligenes, P. polymyxa and B. pumilus. Combined use of Rhizobium with any species of PGPR caused higher reduction in galling and nematode multiplication than their individual inoculation.
Use of Rhizobium plus P. putida caused maximum reduction in galling and nematode multiplication followed by Rhizobium plus P. alcaligens. Pseudomonas putida caused greater root colonization and siderophore production followed by P. alcaligenes, P. polymyxa and B. pumilus. Analysis of the protein bands of these four species by SDS-PAGE revealed that P. putida had a different protein band profile compared to the protein profiles of P. alcaligenes, P. polymyxa and B. pumilus. However, the protein profiles of P. acaligenes, P. polymyxa and B. pumilus were similar. 相似文献

Twenty six Rhizobium strains isolated from root nodules of Sesbania sesban were studied for chitinase activity on chitin agar plates. Among them, only 12 strains showed chitinase activity. The strain
showing the highest chitinase activity was selected based on maximum clear zone/colony size ratio on chitin agar plates and
chitinase activity in culture filtrate. The strain was identified as Rhizobium sp. which showed a high degree of similarity with Rhizobium radiobacter (= Agrobacterium radiobacter). The cultural and nutritional conditions were optimized for maximum chitinase activity. The Rhizobium sp. exhibited maximum chitinase activity after 36 h of incubation, at neutral pH. Among the different nutritional sources,
arabinose and yeast extract were found to be good inducers for chitinase activity. Rhizobium sp. could degrade and utilize dead mycelia of Aspergillus flavus, Aspergillus niger, Curvularia lunata, Fusarium oxysporum and Fusarium udum. 相似文献

Two fold increase in the yield of glucose and maltose containing exo-polysaccharide (EPS) by Rhizobium sp. was observed during its growth in modified YEMB. EPS production, plant growth promotion activity and root colonization
of Rhizobium sp. studies showed enhanced EPS synthesis, more seed germination and over all improvement in plant growth over control and
R. meliloti treatment. Groundnut seeds bacterized with Rhizobium sp. resulted in 69.75% more root length, 49.51% more shoot height, 13.75% more number of branches and 13.60% more number
of pods over the control and R. meliloti treatment. Bacterization of wheat seeds increased the dry matter yield of roots (1.7-fold), and roots adhering soil (RAS)
(1.5) and shoot mass (1.9-fold). Rhizobium sp. inoculation also increased the population density of EPS-producing bacteria on the rhizoplane. Roots of plants inoculated
with Rhizobium sp. maintained a higher K+/Na+ ratio and K+–Na+ selectivity. 相似文献

Orobanche crenata Forsk is a chlorophyll lacking holoparasite that subsists on the roots of plants and causes significant damage to the culture
of leguminous plants and, in particular, to peas (Pisum sativum L.). Here, we investigated the potential of Rhizobium strains for biological control of Orobanche crenata using a commercial pea cultivar (Douce de province) and different Rhizobium strains. Firstly, benefit of bacterial inoculation on plant growth and efficiency in N-incorporation were demonstrated with
four isolates, P.SOM, P.1001, P.Mat.95 and P.1236. After five Rhizobium strains (three efficient: P.SOM, P.1236, P.Mat.95 and two not efficient: P.OM1.92, P.MleTem.92) were investigated for their
ability to control Orobanche crenata using pot and Petri dish experiments. Inoculation of peas with two (P.SOM and P.1236) of the five strains induced a significant
decrease in O. crenata seed germination and in the number of tubercles on pea roots. Furthermore, other symptoms, including the non-penetration
of the germinated seeds into pea roots followed by radicle browning and death of the parasites, were observed in the presence
of these inoculated pea plants. The hypothesis that roots secrete toxic compounds related to Rhizobium inoculation is discussed. 相似文献

Studying Pneumocystis has proven to be a challenge from the perspective of propagating a significant amount of the pathogen in a facile manner.
The study of several fungal pathogens has been aided by the use of invertebrate model hosts. Our efforts to infect the invertebrate
larvae Galleria
mellonella with Pneumocystis proved futile since P. murina neither caused disease nor was able to proliferate within G. mellonella. It did, however, show that the pathogen could be rapidly cleared from the host. 相似文献

A genetic transformation system has been developed for callus cells of Crataegus
aronia using Agrobacterium
tumefaciens. Callus culture was established from internodal stem segments incubated on Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium supplemented with
5 mg l−1 Indole-3-butyric acid (IBA) and 0.5 mg l−1 6-benzyladenine (BA). In order to optimize the callus culture system with respect to callus growth and coloration, different
types and concentrations of plant growth regulators were tested. Results indicated that the best average fresh weight of red
colored callus was obtained on MS medium supplemented with 2 mg l−1 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D) and 1.5 mg l−1 kinetin (Kin) (callus maintenance medium). Callus cells were co-cultivated with Agrobacterium harboring the binary plasmid pCAMBIA1302 carrying the mgfp5 and hygromycin phosphotransferase (hptII) genes conferring green fluorescent protein (GFP) activity and hygromycin resistance, respectively. Putative transgenic calli
were obtained 4 weeks after incubation of the co-cultivated explants onto maintenance medium supplemented with 50 mg l−1 hygromycin. Molecular analysis confirmed the integration of the transgenes in transformed callus. To our knowledge, this
is the first time to report an Agrobacterium-mediated transformation system in Crataegus
aronia. 相似文献

Notocactus scopa cv. Soonjung was subjected to in planta Agrobacterium tumefaciens-mediated transformation with vacuum infiltration, pin-pricking, and a combination of the two methods. The pin-pricking combined with vacuum infiltration (20-30 cmHg for 15 min) resulted in a transformation efficiency of 67-100%, and the expression of the uidA and nptII genes was detected in transformed cactus. The established in planta transformation technique generated a transgenic cactus with higher transformation efficiency, shortened selection process, and stable gene expression via asexual reproduction. All of the results showed that the in planta transformation method utilized in the current study provided an efficient and time-saving procedure for the delivery of genes into the cactus genome, and that this technique can be applied to other asexually reproducing succulent plant species. 相似文献

The maT clade of transposons is a group of transposable elements intermediate in sequence and predicted protein structure to mariner and Tc transposons, with a distribution thus far limited to a few invertebrate species. We present evidence, based on searches of publicly available databases, that the nematode Caenorhabditis briggsae has several maT-like transposons, which we have designated as CbmaT elements, dispersed throughout its genome. We also describe two additional transposon sequences that probably share their evolutionary history with the CbmaT transposons. One resembles a fold back variant of a CbmaT element, with long (380-bp) inverted terminal repeats (ITRs) that show a high degree (71%) of identity to CbmaT1. The other, which shares only the 26-bp ITR sequences with one of the CbmaT variants, is present in eight nearly identical copies, but does not have a transposase gene and may therefore be cross mobilised by a CbmaT transposase. Using PCR-based mobility assays, we show that CbmaT1 transposons are capable of excising from the C. briggsae genome. CbmaT1 excised approximately 500 times less frequently than Tcb1 in the reference strain AF16, but both CbmaT1 and Tcb1 excised at extremely high frequencies in the HK105 strain. The HK105 strain also exhibited a high frequency of spontaneous induction of unc-22 mutants, suggesting that it may be a mutator strain of C. briggsae. 相似文献

Aggregatibacter (Actinobacillus) actinomycetemcomitans P7–20 strain isolated from a periodontally diseased patient has produced a bacteriocin (named as actinomycetemcomitin) that is
active against Peptostreptococcus anaerobius ATCC 27337. Actinomycetemcomitin was produced during exponential and stationary growth phases, and its amount decreased until
it disappeared during the decline growth phase. It was purified by ammonium sulphate precipitation (30–60% saturation), and
further by FPLC (mono-Q ionic exchange and Phenyl Superose hydrophobic interaction) and HPLC (C-18 reversed-phase). This bacteriocin
loses its activity after incubation at a pH below 7.0 or above 8.0, following heating for 30 min at 45°C, and after treatment
with proteolytic enzymes such as trypsin, α-chymotrypsin, and papain. Actinomycetemcomitin has a molecular mass of 20.3 KDa
and it represents a new bacteriocin from A. actinomycetemcomitans. 相似文献

To confer the ability to ferment cello-oligosaccharides on the ethanol-producing bacterium, Zymomonas mobilis, the -glucosidase gene from EmRuminococcus albus, tagged at its N-terminal with the 53-amino acid Tat signal peptide from the periplasmic enzyme glucose–fructose oxidoreductase from Z. mobilis, was introduced into the strain. The tag enabled 61% of the -glucosidase activity to be transported through the cytoplasmic membrane of the recombinant strain which then produced 0.49 g ethanol/g cellobiose.

For production of genistein from N-acetylcysteamine-attached p-coumarate (p-coumaroyl-NAC) supplemented to the medium, a chalcone synthase (CHS) gene from Glycyrrhiza echinata, a chalcone isomerase (CHI) gene from Pueraria lobata, and an isoflavone synthase (IFS) gene from G. echinata were placed under the control of the galactose-inducible GAL promoters in pESC vector and were introduced in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. When the recombinant yeast cells (0.5 g wet weight) were used as “enzyme bags” and incubated at 30°C for 48 h in 100 ml
of the buffer containing galactose and 1 mM (265 mg/l) p-coumaroyl-NAC, ca. 340 μg genistein/l was produced. Another system consisting of two enzyme bags was also generated for the
purpose of production of genistein from tyrosine. One enzyme bag was an Escherichia coli cell containing a phenylalanine ammonia-lyase gene from a yeast, a 4-coumarate/cinnamate:CoA ligase gene from the actinomycete
Streptomyces coelicolor A3(2), the CHS gene, and the CHI gene, in addition to the acetyl-CoA carboxylase gene from Corynebacterium
glutamicum, all of which were under the control of the isopropyl-β-d-thiogalactopyranoside-inducible T7 promoter, and thus producing (S)-naringenin from tyrosine. The other enzyme bag was a S.
cerevisiae cell containing the IFS gene. Coincubation of the E.
coli cells (0.5 g wet weight) and S. cerevisiae cells (0.5 g wet weight) at 26°C for 60 h in 20 ml of the buffer containing 3 mM (543 mg/l) tyrosine as the starting substrate
yielded ca. 6 mg genistein/l. 相似文献

Biotransformation of flavonoids using Escherichia coli harboring nucleotide sugar-dependent uridine diphosphate-dependent glycosyltransferases (UGTs) commonly results in the production
of a glucose conjugate because most UGTs are specific for UDP-glucose. The Arabidopsis enzyme AtUGT78D2 prefers UDP-glucose as a sugar donor and quercetin as a sugar acceptor. However, in vitro, AtUGT78D2 could
use UDP-N-acetylglucosamine as a sugar donor, and whole cell biotransformation of quercetin using E. coli harboring AtUGT78D2 produced quercetin 3-O-N-acetylglucosamine. In order to increase the production of quercetin 3-O-N-acetylglucosamine via biotransformation, two E. coli mutant strains deleted in phosphoglucomutase (pgm) or glucose-1-phosphate uridylyltransferase (galU) were created. The galU mutant produced up to threefold more quercetin 3-O-N-acetylglucosamine than wild type, resulting in the production of 380-mg/l quercetin 3-O-N-acetylglucosamine and a negligible amount of quercetin 3-O-glucoside. These results show that construction of bacterial strains for the synthesis of unnatural flavonoid glycosides
is possible through rational selection of the nucleotide sugar-dependent glycosyltransferase and engineering of the nucleotide
sugar metabolic pathway in the host strain. 相似文献
