商洛多花胡枝子根瘤菌16S rDNA-RFLP分析及系统发育研究

利用16S rDNA-RFLP和全序列测定方法,对分离自商洛地区5个分布点的59株多花胡枝子根瘤菌进行了RFLP分析和系统发育研究.结果表明:(1)42株供试菌株归属根瘤菌属(Rhizobium)、11株归属中华根瘤菌属(Sinorhizobium).其余6株非根瘤菌中3株是嗜麦芽黄单胞菌(Stenotrophomonas maltophilia)、3株是解淀粉类芽孢杆菌(Paenibacillus amylolyticus),说明胡枝子根瘤内生菌较为丰富且类型多样.(2)结合供试菌株的地理生境分析,发现来自不同采集点的菌株有些具有同样的遗传类型,而来自同一采集点的菌株遗传类型却有差异,证明胡枝子根瘤菌在分群类别上与地理环境之间没有明确的对应关系,地理环境并非根瘤菌多样性形成的主要因素.建议今后对根瘤菌多样性研究应从根瘤菌与寄主植物物之间的共生选择进化,特别是对共生体系中基因的横向转移方面进行深入探讨.

Genetic diversity, community structure and distribution of rhizobia in the root nodules of Caragana spp. from arid and semi-arid alkaline deserts, in the north of China

The genetic diversity of 88 Caragana nodule rhizobial isolates, collected from arid and semi-arid alkaline sandy soils in the north of China, was assessed by PCR-RFLP of the 16S rRNA gene and the 16S-23S IGS, as well as the phylogenies of housekeeping genes (atpD, glnII and recA) and symbiotic genes (nodC and nifH). Of the 88 strains, 69 were placed in the genus Mesorhizobium, 16 in Rhizobium and 3 in Bradyrhizobium. Mesorhizobium amorphae, Mesorhizobium septentrionale, Mesorhizobium temperatum and Rhizobium yanglingense were the four predominant microsymbionts associated with Caragana spp. in the surveyed regions, and M. septentrionale was widely distributed among the sampling sites. Phylogenies of nodC and nifH genes showed that two kinds of symbiotic genes existed, corresponding to Mesorhizobium and Rhizobium, respectively. Available phosphorous (P) and potassium (K) contents were the main soil factors correlated with the distribution of these rhizobia in the sampling regions. Positive correlations between the available higher P content/lower K content and the dominance of Mesorhizobium species (M. temperatum, M. amorphae and M. septentrionale), and between the lower P content/higher K content and the dominance of R. yanglingense were found.     

Contrasting nifD and ribosomal gene relationships among Mesorhizobium from Lotus oroboides in northern Mexico

PCR screens for length variation in a 5' portion of 23S ribosomal RNA and in the 3' end of the 16S rRNA-23S rRNA internal transcribed spacer (ITS) region indicated that nodule bacteria from a Mexican population of Lotus oroboides were diverse on a local scale. Three 23S rRNA length variants and five ITS length variants were detected among the 22 isolates. Sequencing of nearly full-length 16S rRNA genes in three isolates indicated that they fell into the genus Mesorhizobium, but comprised two distinct groups. Two isolates were closely related to M. loti LMG 6125T, while the other isolate clustered with an assemblage of Mesorhizobium taxa that included M. amorphae, M. plurifarium and M. huakuii. However, a phylogenetic tree based on 715 bp of the nitrogenase alpha-subunit (nifD) gene was significantly discordant with the relationships inferred from rRNA sequences. Two isolates that were nearly identical for 16S rRNA had nifD genes that varied at 2% of sites, and one of these nifD sequences was identical to that of another isolate with a strongly divergent 16S rRNA gene. A plasmid screen followed by Southern hybridization indicated that only one of these strains harbored a plasmid-borne nifD gene. These results imply that gene transfer events have altered the distribution of nifD sequences among lineages within this natural population of Mesorhizobium strains.     

Genetic characterization of wild leguminous nodular bacteria living in the South Urals

Genetic diversity and phylogeny of rhizobia that nodulate 18 species of wild-growing bean plants of South Urals from 8 genera belonging to 4 tribes (Loteae, Genisteae, Galegeaev and Hedysareae) was studied. It was demonstrated that for the wild-growing plants of Galegeae and Hedysareae tribes symbiotic interaction with various strains of nodule bacteria that closely related to bacteria of Mesorhizobium sp. was typical of the plants of Genisteae tribe--to bacteria of Bradyrhizobium sp. In the nodules of Lortus ucrainicus from Loteae tribe we have found a rhizobium that is closely related to the bacteria of Mesorhizobium sp., and at Coronilla varia rhizobia strains obtained by us were close by sequence of a 16S pRNA gene to Rhizobium sp. In the nodules of some kinds of the investigated plants we found also minor species of a rhizobia, which structure is under the great influence of conditions of the host plant growth.     

Molecular systematics of rhizobia based on maximum likelihood and Bayesian phylogenies inferred from rrs, atpD, recA and nifH sequences, and their use in the classification of Sesbania microsymbionts from Venezuelan wetlands

A well-resolved rhizobial species phylogeny with 51 haplotypes was inferred from a combined atpD + recA data set using Bayesian inference with best-fit, gene-specific substitution models. Relatively dense taxon sampling for the genera Rhizobium and Mesorhizobium was achieved by generating atpD and recA sequences for six type and 24 reference strains not previously available in GenBank. This phylogeny was used to classify nine nodule isolates from Sesbania exasperata, S. punicea and S. sericea plants native to seasonally flooded areas of Venezuela, and compared with a PCR-RFLP analysis of rrs plus rrl genes and large maximum likelihood rrs and nifH phylogenies. We show that rrs phylogenies are particularly sensitive to strain choice due to the high levels of sequence mosaicism found at this locus. All analyses consistently identified the Sesbania isolates as Mesorhizobium plurifarium or Rhizobium huautlense. Host range experiments on ten legume species coupled with plasmid profiling uncovered potential novel biovarieties of both species. This study demonstrates the wide geographic and environmental distribution of M. plurifarium, that R. galegae and R. huautlense are sister lineages, and the synonymy of R. gallicum, R. mongolense and R. yanglingense. Complex and diverse phylogeographic, inheritance and host-association patterns were found for the symbiotic nifH locus. The results and the analytical approaches used herein are discussed in the context of rhizobial taxonomy and molecular systematics.     

Analysis of phospholipids and ornithine-containing lipids from Mesorhizobium spp

Polar lipid compositions of seven strains belonging to the four species of the Mesorhizobium genus were described. The lipid patterns of Mesorhizobium strains were very similar. Only quantitative differences were observed. Diphosphatidylglycerol (DPG), phosphatidylglycerol (PG), phosphatidylethanolamine (PE), and phosphatidylcholine (PC) were found to be the major phospholipids of the analysed bacteria. In addition, two methylated derivatives of PE were observed: phosphatidyl-N,N-dimethylethanolamine (DMPE) and phosphatidyl-N-monomethylethanolamine (MMPE). Polar head groups of those phospholipids were predominately acylated with lactobacillic (19:0 cyclopropane) acid. Ornithine-containing lipid (OL) was also identified. 3-hydroxy fatty acids found in the lipid preparations were derived exclusively from the ornithine lipid. 3-hydroxylactobacillic was the main acyl residue amide linked to the ornithine.

In situ lateral transfer of symbiosis islands results in rapid evolution of diverse competitive strains of mesorhizobia suboptimal in symbiotic nitrogen fixation on the pasture legume Biserrula pelecinus L

The multi-billion dollar asset attributed to symbiotic nitrogen fixation is often threatened by the nodulation of legumes by rhizobia that are ineffective or poorly effective in N(2) fixation. This study investigated the development of rhizobial diversity for the pasture legume Biserrula pelecinus L., 6 years after its introduction, and inoculation with Mesorhizobium ciceri bv. biserrulae strain WSM1271, to Western Australia. Molecular fingerprinting of 88 nodule isolates indicated seven were distinctive. Two of these were ineffective while five were poorly effective in N(2) fixation on B. pelecinus. Three novel isolates had wider host ranges for nodulation than WSM1271, and four had distinct carbon utilization patterns. Novel isolates were identified as Mesorhizobium sp. using 16S rRNA, dnaK and GSII phylogenies. In a second study, a large number of nodules were collected from commercially grown B. pelecinus from a broader geographical area. These plants were originally inoculated with M. c bv. biserrulae WSM1497 5-6 years prior to isolation of strains for this study. Nearly 50% of isolates from these nodules had distinct molecular fingerprints. At two sites diverse strains dominated nodule occupancy indicating recently evolved strains are highly competitive. All isolates tested were less effective and six were ineffective in N(2) fixation. Twelve randomly selected diverse isolates clustered together, based on dnaK sequences, within Mesorhizobium and distantly to M. c bv. biserrulae. All 12 had identical sequences for the symbiosis island insertion region with WSM1497. This study shows the rapid evolution of competitive, yet suboptimal strains for N(2) fixation on B. pelecinus following the lateral transfer of a symbiosis island from inoculants to other soil bacteria.     

豌豆根瘤菌共生基因pJB5JI与华癸中生根瘤菌7653R共生质粒的相互关系

华癸中生根瘤菌(Mesorhizobium huakuii)7653R是分离自我国南方水稻田的一株根瘤菌,含有2个内源质粒:p7653Ra和p7653Rb,其中7653Rb是共生质粒.通过Tn5-sacB的插入方法来消除质粒,获得7653Rb消除的突变株7653RD.将豌豆根瘤菌T83K3的共生质粒pJB5JI导入7653R和7653RD中,盆栽结果表明含有pJB5JI的转移接合子7653R-197的竞争结瘤能力和共生固氮能力均高于7653R.pJB5JI不能恢复7653RD在紫云英上的结瘤能力.含有pJB5JI的7653RD可以在豌豆上结无效瘤,表明pJB5JI可以在7653R的染色体背景下表达其功能.对转移接合子中的质粒稳定性进行检测,结果表明pJB5JI在人工传代的情况下可以稳定存在,但经过共生之后发生了遗传分离,对转移接合子和出发菌株及分离菌株进行kan基因的PCR扩增,除了受体菌外其他菌株都可得到PCR产物,由此推测,pJB5JI可能部分或全部整合到了受体菌的染色体基因组中.     

Molecular and phenotypic characterization of strains nodulating Anthyllis vulneraria in mine tailings, and proposal of Aminobacter anthyllidis sp. nov., the first definition of Aminobacter as legume-nodulating bacteria

Bacterial strains from Zn-Pb mine tailings were isolated by trapping with Anthyllis vulneraria, a legume-host suitable for mine substratum phytostabilisation. Sequence analysis of the 16S rRNA gene and three housekeeping genes (atpD, dnaK and recA) showed that they were related to those of the genus Aminobacter. DNA-DNA relatedness of representative isolates supported the placement of novel strains in Aminobacter as a new species. Phenotypic data emphasize their differentiation from the other related species of Aminobacter and Mesorhizobium. Aminobacter isolates exhibited nodA sequences tightly related with M. loti as the closest nodA relative. By contrast, their nodA sequences were highly divergent from those of M. metallidurans, another species associated with A. vulneraria that carries two complete copies of nodA. Therefore, the novel bacterial strains efficient on A. vulneraria represented the first occurrence of legume symbionts in the genus Aminobacter. They represent a new species for which the name Aminobacter anthyllidis sp. nov. is proposed (type strain STM4645(T)=LMG26462(T)=CFBP7437(T)).     

Obtaining of fluorescent-labeled nodule bacteria strains of wild legumes for their detection in vive and in vitro

A series of expression vectors containing genes of fluorescent proteins TurboGFP and TurboRFP under the phage T5 constitutive promoter regulation, intended for lifetime marking of nodule bacteria is created: a series of vectors based on a broad-host-range replicon BBRI, for marking strains with an expression of reporter gene from a transformed plasmid and a series of vectors based on a plasmid pRL765gfp for marking strains by introduction genes of fluorescent proteins in a bacterial chromosome. It was shown that transformation is the most preferable method of constructions transfer in nodule bacteria cells, as in the presence of mob locus in the vectors necessary for conjugation, exists the possibility of occasional plasmid mobilization and its transition from marked strain cells in other soil bacteria. With application of the created vector constructions we obtained fluorescent tagged strains of Rhizobium sp., Mesorhizobium sp., Ensifer (Sinorhizobium) sp., Bradyrhizobium sp., Phyllobacterium sp., Agrobacterium sp. Also their suitability for experiments in vivo and in vitro is shown.
