A strain ofFrankia was isolated fromGymnostoma papuanum(Casuarinaceae) nodules harvested from rooted cuttings which had been inoculated with a suspension of crushedCasuarina equisetifolia nodules. Designated HFPGpI1 (catalogue #HFP021801), this strain is pigmented and similar to other pigmentedFrankia strains in cultural characteristics. A previously unknown spiraled hyphal morphology was observed at very low frequency in some cultures of this strain. HFPGpI1 is infective and effective onG. papuanum but not on anyCasuarina species tested. It also infects members of the family Elaeagnaceae andMyrica gale. The host plantG. papuanum can be infected with a wide range ofFrankia isolates and thus can be considered a promiscuous host, unlike its close relatives in the genera Casuarina and Allocasuarina which are very restrictive as to which strains may nodulate them. 相似文献

Summary Measurements of auxin and cytokinin activities in extracts ofCasuarina root nodules were made. The nodules were induced either by pure culture ofFrankia strain CgI4 or by crushed nodule inoculum. Levels of cytokinin activity were significantly higher in root nodules induced by pureFrankia culture than in those induced by crushed nodule inoculum. However, the reasons for this are unknown. Seasonal variation in levels of cytokinin activity inCasuarina nodules has also been detected.Dedicated to the memory of Professor John G. Torrey 相似文献

Summary A correlated light and electron microscopic study was undertaken of the initiation and development of root nodules of the actinorhizal tree species,Elaeagnus angustifolia L. (Elaeagnaceae).Two pure culturedFrankia strains were used for inoculation of plants in either standing water culture or axenic tube cultures. Unlike the well known root hair infection of other actinorhizal genera such asAlnus orMyrica the mode of infection ofElaeagnus in all cases was by direct intercellular penetration of the epidermis and apoplastic colonization of the root cortex. Root hairs were not involved in this process and were not observed to be deformed or curled in the presence of the actinomyceteFrankia. In response to the invasion of the root, host cells secreted a darkly staining material into the intercellular spaces. The colonizingFrankia grew through this material probably by enzymatic digestion as suggested by clear dissolution zones around the hyphal strands. A nodule primordium was initiated from the root pericycle, well in advance of the colonizingFrankia. No random division of root cortical cells, indicative of prenodule formation was observed inElaeagnus. As the nodule primordium grew in size it was surrounded by tanninised cells of a protoperiderm. The endophyte easily traversed this protoperiderm, and once inside the nodule primordium cortex ramified within the intercellular spaces at multiple cell junctions. Invasion of the nodule cortical cells occurred when a hyphal branch of the endophyte was initiated and grew through the plant cell wall, again by apparent enzymatic digestion. The plant cell plasmalemma of invaded cells always remained intact and numerous secretory vesicles fused with it to encapsulate the advancingFrankia within a fibrous cell wall-like material. Once within the host cell some endophyte cells began to differentiate into characteristic vesicles which are the presumed site of nitrogen fixation. This study clearly demonstrates that alternative developmental pathways exist for the development of actinorhizal nitrogen-fixing root symbioses. 相似文献

The objective of this study was to investigate the effects of nutrients and culture conditions on morphology during the seed
culture ofC. acremonium ATCC 20339. Morphological factors such as hyphal length, number of tips, number of arthrospores were observed to investigate
the relationship between seed morphology and CPC production. During the time course of seed culture, hyphal length was shortened
and the number of arthrospores increased rapidly. On the other hand, the number of tips decreased rapidly, and this was closely
related to the hyphal length. Mixed nitrogen sources of 3% soybean meal and 1% cotton seed flour were determined as the proper
organic nitrogen sources, in terms of the morphological factors in the seed culture. This fact was proven in batch culture
for the production of Cephalosporin C. It was also found that a proper agitation speed enhanced the morphological differentiation
ofC. acremonium ATCC 20339, thus improving the production of Cephalosporin C. 相似文献

Indole compounds secreted byFrankia sp. HFPArI3 in defined culture medium were identified with gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). WhenFrankia was grown in the presence of13C(ring-labelled)-L-tryptophan,13C-labelled indole-3-acetic acid (IAA), indole-3-ethanol (IEtOH), indole-3-lactic acid (ILA), and indole-3-methanol (IMeOH) were identified.High performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and GC-MS with selected ion monitoring were used to quantify levels of IAA and IEtOH inFrankia culture medium. IEtOH was present in greater abundance than IAA in every experiment. When no exogenous trp was supplied, no or only low levels of indole compounds were detected.Seedling roots ofAlnus rubra incubated in axenic conditions in the presence of indole-3-ethanol formed more lateral roots than untreated plants, indicating that IEtOH is utilized by the host plant, with physiological effects that modify patterns of root primordium initiation. 相似文献

Summary 600,000 seedlings ofAlnus crispa were inoculated with a 111 mixture of theFrankia strains ACN1

, AGN1

and MGP10i. After 3 successive inoculations and screenings, one individual, AC-4, was selected as non-nodulating (Nod–) with Frankiae. This selected individual AC-4 (Nod–) and two other clones ofA. crispa, AC-2 and AC-5, known for their ability to nodulate (Nod+) and two other clones ofA. crispa, AC-2 and AC-5, known for their ability to nodulate (Nod+) withFrankia werein vitro propagated. The different clones ofA. crispa in culture required different kinds and concentrations of sugar during the in vitro multiplication and rooting stages. Nodulation tests using 7Frankia strains indicated that the clone AC-4 (Nod–) was non-nodulating with 6 of the 7Frankia strains tested. One strain,Frankia ANNI, isolated from one unique nodule produced on the mother-plant AC-4, induced 38% of the AC-4 plantlets to nodulate but with a number of nodules 10 to 20 times less than the clones AC-2 (Nod+) and AC-5 (Nod+). Morphological observations of the roots of AC-4 (Nod–) indicated that this clone had few and abnormally short root hairs. 相似文献

Summary Seedlings ofCasuarina spp. andAllocasuarina spp. were grown from seed in the greenhouse and inoculated with a nodule suspension fromC. equisetifolia. Plants ofCasuarina spp. nodulated regularly and were effective in nitrogen-fixation. Only one species ofAllocasuariona, A. lehmanniana formed root nodules. Using these plants as source of inoculum, the isolation of a newFrankia sp. HFPA11I1 (HFP022 801) was made and the strain was grown in pure culture.Frankia sp. HFPA11I1 grows well in a defined medium and shows typical morphological characteristics. In media lacking combined nitrogen, the filamentours bacterium forms terminal vesicles in abundance and differentiaties large intrahyphal or terminal sporangia containing numerous spores. This strain, used as inoculum, nodulates effectively seedlings ofC. equisietifolia andC. cunninghamiana, forming nodules with verically-growing nodule roots. Although effective in acetylene reduction, the endophyte within the nodules is filamentous and lacks veiscles. When used to inoculated seedlings ofA llocasuarina lehmanniana, Frankia sp. HFPA11I1 induces root nodules which are coralloid and lacking nodule roots. The nodules are effective in acetylene reduction and the filamentous hyphae ofFrankia within the nodule lobes lack vesicles. Effective nodulation inA. Lehmanniana depends upon environmental conditions of the seedlings and proceeds much more slowly than in Casuariana. 相似文献

Factors affecting the establishment of Alnus/Frankia symbioses were studied partly by following the survival ofFrankia strains exposed to different soil conditions, and partly by investigating the effect of pH on nodulation. TwoFrankia strains were used, both of the Sp− type (sporangia not formed in nodules). One of the strains sporulated heavily, while the other formed mainly hyphae. The
strains originated fromAlnus incana root nodules growing in soils of pH 3.5 and 5.0. The optimum pH for their growth in pure culture was found to be 6.7 and
6.2, respectively.
The strains were introduced into twoFrankia-free soils, peat and fine sand. Their survival, measured as the persistance of nodulation capacity using the plant infection
technique, was followed for 14 months. The survival curves of the strains were similar despite the morphological differences
between the strains in pure culture. The nodulation capacities declined over time both at 14 and 22°C. Survival was better
in soils limed to a pH above 6 than in soils at their original pH (peat 2.9, fine sand 4.2).
The effect of pH on nodule formation in Alnus seedlings by theFrankia strains was studied in liquid culture. The number of nodules increased linearly within the pH range studied (3.5–5.8). No
nodules were formed at pH 3.5. 相似文献

The effects of soil type (an acid peat and 2 acid brown earths) andFrankia source (3 spore-positive crushed nodule inocula and spore-negative crushed nodules containing the singleFrankia ArI5) on nodulation, N content and growth ofAlnus glutinosa andA. rubra were determined in a glasshouse pot experiment of two years duration. Plants on all soils required additional P for growth. Growth of both species was very poor on peat withA. glutinosa superior toA. rubra. The former species was also superior toA. rubra on an acid brown earth with low pH and low P content. Some plant-inoculum combinations were of notable effectivity on particular soils but soil type was the major source of variation in plant weight. Inoculation with crushed nodules containingFrankia ArI5 only gave poor infection of the host plant, suggesting that inoculation with locally-collected crushed nodules can be a preferred alternative to inoculation withFrankia isolates of untested effectivity. Evidence of adaptation ofFrankia to particular soils was obtained. Thus, while the growth of all strains was stimulated by mineral soil extracts, inhibitory effects of peat extracts were more apparent with isolates from nodules from mineral soils than from peat, suggesting that survival ofFrankia on peat may be improved by strain selection. 相似文献

Studies were made of the polysaccharide-hydrolyzing activity inFrankia (Actinomycetales) grown in synthetic media using modifications of three standard assay procedures. In screening five different strains ofFrankia for cellulase activity, based on the method of utilization of cellulose in liquid culture, only one strain, CcI3, degraded filter paper cellulose to complete disintegration and only under very specific conditions of pH and primary carbon source. When carboxymethylcellulose (CMC) at 1% was used as substrate, all five strains showed the capacity to produce reducing sugars as hydrolytic products. Microcystalline cellulose, xylans and gum arabic were hydrolyzed to a lesser extent. Optimum activity depended upon pH and primary carbon source with pH 5.0 and pyruvate or propionate producing highest activities. In fractionation studies of culturedFrankia, assays for hydrolysis of 1% CMC in liquid medium showed that highest activity was in the enzyme preparation supernatant with lesser activity in the cell-free extract and cell wall fractions.Frankia strain CpI1 showed the greatest total hydrolytic activity against CMC after 2 weeks of culture. Strains ArI3 and CcI3 also showed good activity. The agar plate method for direct dye-polysaccharide interaction proved to be the least sensitive assay method with only ArI3 showing significant activity using CMC as substrate. It appears that theFranka strains grown in synthetic media all showed hydrolytic activity but the degree of hydrolysis of polysaccharides to reducing sugars depends upon strain of bacteria and very specific cultural conditions. 相似文献

Summary Fifteen species from three genera of the Casuarinaceae were inoculated with suspensions ofFrankia prepared from single nodule-lobes collected from different species and genera within the Casuarinaceae. Host-endophyte specificity
was expressed mainly at the generic level. There was marked cross-inoculation within Casuarina and little nodulation ofCasuarina species from Allocasuarina sources with the exception of 3 sources ofFrankia fromA. torulosa which showed a high tendency to nodulateCasuarina species. Few sources from Casuarina nodulated species of Allocasuarina and while cross-inoculation within Allocasuarina was
frequent it was less marked than within Casuarina. SomeFrankia inocula had wider host ranges than others, nodulating outside the genus or series of origin. It was not possible to determine
if these apparent wider ranges in host spectra reflected genotypic differences betweenFrankia or were associated with the presence of more than oneFrankia strain in some inocula. 相似文献

Summary The isolations of three new strains ofFrankia were made from root nodules ofCasuarina cunninghamiana growing aeroponically. Two strains, HFPCCI1 and HFPCcI2 isolated by Lopez are typicalFrankia strains, producing sporangia among filamentous mats in culture and, in the absence of combined nitrogen, forming vesicles and showing acetylene reduction. They are red-pigmented and, although failing to nodulateCasuarina hosts, effectively nodulatedElaeagnus andHippophae. A third strain HFPCcI3 isolated by Zhang from the same source, also a typicalFrankia, can form sporangia and vesicles in culture and reduce acetylene, is unpigmented, fails to nodulateElaeagnus but effectively nodulatesC. cunninghamiana andC. equisetifolia. Comparisons are made among all of theCasuarina isolates in our collection from around the world (twelve in all) with regard to their cultural characteristics and capacity to infect host plant species. Questions are raised about the specificity of the various isolates and their possible affinities. Opportunities are suggested for inoculation of seedlings for forestry and field application using the infective, effective strains now available. 相似文献

Summary From 1979 to 1984 more than seven million seedlings of actinorhizal plants were successfully inoculated on an industrial scale withFrankia inoculants. Nodulated seedlings were produced in greenhouses to be used for land reclamation in northern Québec by the Societe d'Energie de la Baie James (SEBJ) and also by the City of Montréal for a revegetation program. Crushed-nodule homogenates andFrankia pure culture formulations were compared for large scale inoculation of green alder. Pure culture inoculant was found to be superior than crushed-nodule homogenates yielding reproducible nodulation of seedlings. Two inoculation methods of theFrankia pure culture inocula were compared: soil injection and spraying with greenhouse watering devices. Both methods resulted in efficient nodulation ofAlnus crispa, A. glutinosa, A. rugosa, Elaeagnus angustifolia, E. commutata, Hippophaë rhamnoides, Myrica gale andShepherdia argentea. 相似文献

Four species of Casuarina were raised in the glasshouse and inoculated with nodules collected from nine different geographical
areas within Australia. Isolations ofFrankia were attempted from 10 of the Casuarina-Frankia nodule combinations using two methods, a nodule dissection and a filtration method. With both techniquesFrankia isolates were obtained from four of the 10Frankia sources. Spores were not observed in sections of nodules from the four sources from whichFrankia was isolated, whereas spores were observed in the remaining six nodule sources. For selected nodule sources a range of isolation
media were tried, but no improvement in the isolation success rate was achieved.
The effect of host species on ease of isolation was studied. The results obtained suggested it was theFrankia strain and not the host plant species which determined the ease of isolation from Casuarina nodules. 相似文献

Roots of stinging nettle (Urtica dioica L.) were sampled at different sites around Basel (Switzerland) and examined under the microscope. They were completely devoid of mycorrhizal structures. Similarly, stinging nettle plants grown in the greenhouse in the presence of the arbuscular mycorrhizal fungusGlomus mosseae did not show any signs of mycorrhiza formation. Spread ofG. mosseae through the rhizosphere of stinging nettle plants was inhibited, and application of extracts of stinging nettle roots and rhizomes to hyphal tips ofG. mosseae reduced hyphal growth.Urtica dioica agglutinin, an antifungal protein present in the rhizomes of stinging nettle, inhibited hyphal growth in a similar way as the crude root extract. The possibility thatUrtica dioica agglutinin is at least partially responsible for the inability of stinging nettle to form the arbuscular mycorrhizal symbiosis withG. mosseae is discussed. 相似文献

Tretopileus sphaerophorus, a synnematous hyphomycete with basidiomycetous affinities was newly isolated from the decaying petiole and peduncle ofCocos nucifera collected in Depok, Indonesia. The species produced first a bulbil as a propagule on the top of a synnema. After the bulbil
had fallen, the synnema proliferated about seven times to produce new bulbils, each time making conspicuous nodes at the upper
part. By careful morphological observation, clamp connections were confirmed on the hyphae in the specimens and culture. In
culture, each hyphal cell with or without a clamp was found to be dikaryotic by DAPI nuclear staining. Germination of the
bulbils occurred first from projecting hyphal tips on their upper surface, which have been treated as germ pores. The inner
structure of the bulbils, the hyaline mucus of the bulbils, and conidium-like hyphal fragments were also examined. Phylogenetically,T. sphaerophorus was inferred to be related to the Aphyllophorales based on the nuclear encoded small subunit (18S) rDNA using the homology
search system (FASTA) and the neighbour-joining method.

Summary Clones from aFrankia At4 gene bank were pooled into groups and mass conjugated into anodD mutant ofRhizobium leguminosarum bv.viciae by triparental matings. When peas were inoculated with the pooled transconjugants, nodulation was observed. A plasmid, pAt2GX containingFrankia DNA, was isolated from bacteria recovered from these nodules. This plasmid was shown to complement anodD mutant ofR. leguminosarum bv.viciae. Thus pAt2GX contains aFrankia gene that is functionally equivalent tonodD ofR. leguminosarum bv.viciae. 相似文献

Nodulation tests onin-vitro propagated clones ofAlnus glutinosa ecotypes (forest ecotype, pioneer ecotype) withFrankia strains originating from both ecotypes indicated differences in host-plant compatibility. Inoculated plants of the pioneer
ecotype clone were not infected by strains, that were unable to fix nitrogen in pure culture. Nodulation could only be induced
on the clone of the forest ecotype, but no nitrogen-fixing activity could be detected. Ultra-structural observations of the
nodules by SEM and TEM indicated that ineffectivity of these strains was correlated with the lack of vesicles in the infected
cells. Cells were only filled with hyphae: neither sporangia nor vesicles could be detected. In contrast, effective nodules
could be obtained on both alder clones after inoculation with an effective strain, showing normal development of vesicle clusters
in infected cells. In pure culture the ineffective strains produced no vesicles; sporangia were found only during early stage
of growth. The results demonstrate the existence ofFrankia strains which were either non-infective or ineffective on different clones ofAlnus glutinosa. 相似文献

A modified sucrose fractionation procedure for the isolation of frankiae from actinorhizal root nodules and soil samples 总被引:4,自引:0,他引:4
Summary The isolation and pure culture of the symbiotic nitrogen-fixing frankiae has always been difficult. In the past the isolation of these actinomycetes directly from soil samples has proven impossible and isolations from root nodules of many genera has been only poorly successful. We report here a modified sucrose fractionation procedure which increased the success of isolations from root nodules and which permitted the isolation ofFrankia directly from soil samples. Crushed nodule suspensions or soil suspensions were incubated briefly in 0.7% phenol (carbolic acid) just before application to a sucrose density gradient. This phenol incubation decreased the number of contaminating eubacteria and fungi but more importantly increased the number ofFrankia developing on the isolation plates. If the phenol incubation was used solely without sucrose fractionation noFrankia were isolated, suggesting the death of the organisms due to phenol toxicity. The use of selective nitrogen-deficient media proved important for the isolation of frankiae from soils. 相似文献

Summary The inoculation ofAlnus rubra (red alder) withFrankia sp. can lead to a highly efficient symbiosis. Several factors contribute to the successful establishment of nitrogenfixing nodules: (1) quantity and quality ofFrankia inoculant; (2) time and method of inoculation; (3) nutritional status of the host plant.Frankia isolates were screened for their ability to nodulate and promote plant growth of container-grown red alder. Inoculations were performed on seedlings and seeds. Apparent differences in symbiotic performance could be seen when seeds or seedlings were inoculated. Plants inoculated at planting performed significantly better than those inoculated four weeks later in terms of shoot height, nodule number and shoot dry weight. If inoculation was delayed further, reduction in shoot height, nodule number and shoot dry weight resulted. The effect of fertilizer was also investigated with regard to providing optimal plant growth after inoculation. Plants receiving 1/5 Hoagland's solution minus nitrogen showed maximal plant growth with abundant nodulation. Plants receiving 1/5 Hoagland's solution with nitrogen showed excellent plant growth with significantly reduced nodulation. 相似文献
