Among the leguminous trees native to Uruguay, Parapiptadenia rigida (Angico), a Mimosoideae legume, is one of the most promising species for agroforestry. Like many other legumes, it is able to establish symbiotic associations with rhizobia and belongs to the group known as nitrogen-fixing trees, which are major components of agroforestry systems. Information about rhizobial symbionts for this genus is scarce, and thus, the aim of this work was to identify and characterize rhizobia associated with P. rigida. A collection of Angico-nodulating isolates was obtained, and 47 isolates were selected for genetic studies. According to enterobacterial repetitive intergenic consensus PCR patterns and restriction fragment length polymorphism analysis of their nifH and 16S rRNA genes, the isolates could be grouped into seven genotypes, including the genera Burkholderia, Cupriavidus, and Rhizobium, among which the Burkholderia genotypes were the predominant group. Phylogenetic studies of nifH, nodA, and nodC sequences from the Burkholderia and the Cupriavidus isolates indicated a close relationship of these genes with those from betaproteobacterial rhizobia (beta-rhizobia) rather than from alphaproteobacterial rhizobia (alpha-rhizobia). In addition, nodulation assays with representative isolates showed that while the Cupriavidus isolates were able to effectively nodulate Mimosa pudica, the Burkholderia isolates produced white and ineffective nodules on this host. 相似文献

Description of Devosia neptuniae sp. nov. that nodulates and fixes nitrogen in symbiosis with Neptunia natans,an aquatic legume from India 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

Neptunia natans is a unique aquatic legume indigenous to tropical and sub-tropical regions and is nodulated symbiotically by rhizobia using an unusual infection process unlike any previously described. Previously, isolates of neptunia-nodulating rhizobia from Senegal were characterized as Allorhizobium undicola. Here we report on a different group of neptunia-nodulating rhizobia isolated from India. Sequencing of the 16S rDNA gene from two of these Indian isolates (strains J1T and J2) show that they belong in the genus Devosia rather than Allorhizobium. Currently, the only described Devosia species is D. riboflavina (family Hyphomicrobiaceae, order Rhizobiales). The complete 16S rDNA sequences of strains J1T and J2 are 95.9% homologous to the type strain, D. riboflavina LMG 2277T, suggesting that these neptunia-nodulating strains from India belong to a new Devosia species. This hypothesis was confirmed by further studies of polyphasic taxonomy (DNA-DNA hybridisation, TP-RAPD patterns, SDS-PAGE of cellular proteins, 16S rDNA RFLP patterns, carbon source utilisation, cellular fatty acid analysis and other phenotypic characterisations), all of which support the proposal that these neptunia-nodulating strains constitute a new Devosia species, which we name Devosia neptuniae sp. nov. These gram negative, strictly aerobic short rods are motile by a subpolar flagellum, positive for catalase, oxidase, urease and beta-galactosidase, can utilise several carbohydrates (but not organic acids) as carbon sources and contain C18:0 3-OH, cis-7 C18:1 11-methyl and cis-7 C18:1 as their major cellular fatty acids. Unlike D. riboflavina, the longer-chain C24:1 3-OH and C26:1 3-OH hydroxy fatty acids are not detected. The type strain of D. neptuniae is LMG 21357T (CECT 5650T). Assignment of this new taxon represents the fourth example in the literature of a non-rhizobial genus of bacteria capable of forming a bonafide dinitrogen-fixing root-nodule symbiosis with legume plants. 相似文献

Soils of the Chinese Hubei province show a very high diversity of Sinorhizobium fredii strains 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

Biodiversity studies of native soybean-nodulating rhizobia in soils from the Chinese Hubei province (Honghu county; pH 8, alluvial soil) have been carried out. Inoculation of an American (Williams) and an Asiatic (Peking) soybean cultivar with eleven soil samples led to the isolation of 167 rhizobia strains. The ratio (%) of slow-/fast-growing isolates was different depending on the trap plant used. All isolates were able to nodulate both cultivars, although the N2-fixation efficiency (measured as plant-top dry weight) was different among them. A total of thirty-three isolates were selected for further characterisation on the basis of physiological parameters, PCR-RFLP of symbiotic genes and Low Molecular Weight RNA, lipopolysaccharide, protein and plasmid profiles. Low Molecular Weight RNA profiling indicates that all the isolates belong to species Sinorhizobium fredii. The dendrogram obtained with the physiological parameters has been useful to classify the isolates at strain level, although plasmid profiling was the most discriminating technique to detect differences among the analysed soybean-rhizobia isolates, showing there is not two isolates identical each other. Plasmid profile analyses also revealed that some of the investigated strains contain low molecular weight plasmids (7-8-kb). They are, to our knowledge, the smallest ever found in rhizobia and they could be the starting point for the construction of the first group of vectors based on a native rhizobia replicon. 相似文献

Profiles of cellular fatty acids of Erwinia herbicola, E. ananas, E. stewartü and E. uredovora , comprising the Herbicola group in the genus Erwinia , contained 7 major components accounting for 90–95% of total fatty acids, and,30 minor components, each less than 1% of the total. The major components and their average percentage ranges in cells on King's medium B at 28°C for 1 days were: 12:0 (3.5–4.5%), 14:0 (3.6–4.3%), 16:0 (28.1–35.7%), 16:1 (17.5–24.2%), 18:1 (13.9–31.9%), 3-OH 14:0 (4.6–7.2%) and cyclopropane 17:0 (trace levels in E. stewartii , 5.0–6.7% in other species). Fatty acid composition changed as a function of physiological age of the cells. The regression coefficient ( b ) as a function of age for percentage of saturated even- and oddcarbon, straight-chain fatty acids (Classes A and B) was either negative or not significant for E. ananas and positive for the other species. A series of dichotomous steps was constructed based on fatty acid algorithms to differentiate all four species. 相似文献

We describe the isolation and characterization of alfalfa-nodulating rhizobia from acid soils of different locations in Central Argentina and Uruguay. A collection of 465 isolates was assembled, and the rhizobia were characterized for acid tolerance. Growth tests revealed the existence of 15 acid-tolerant (AT) isolates which were able to grow at pH 5.0 and formed nodules in alfalfa with a low rate of nitrogen fixation. Analysis of those isolates, including partial sequencing of the genes encoding 16S rRNA and genomic PCR-fingerprinting with MBOREP1 and BOXC1 primers, demonstrated that the new isolates share a genetic background closely related to that of the previously reported Rhizobium sp. Or191 recovered from an acid soil in Oregon (B. D. Eardly, J. P. Young, and R. K. Selander, Appl. Environ. Microbiol. 58:1809–1815, 1992). Growth curves, melanin production, temperature tolerance, and megaplasmid profiles of the AT isolates were all coincident with these characteristics in strain Or191. In addition to the ability of all of these strains to nodulate alfalfa (Medicago sativa) inefficiently, the AT isolates also nodulated the common bean and Leucaena leucocephala, showing an extended host range for nodulation of legumes. In alfalfa, the time course of nodule formation by the AT isolate LPU 83 showed a continued nodulation restricted to the emerging secondary roots, which was probably related to the low rate of nitrogen fixation by the largely ineffective nodules. Results demonstrate the complexity of the rhizobial populations present in the acidic soils represented by a main group of N2-fixing rhizobia and a second group of ineffective and less-predominant isolates related to the AT strain Or191. 相似文献

Gram-negative, nonfermentative bacteria isolated from biofilters for off-gas treatment of animal-rendering-plant emissions were differentiated by whole-cell fatty acid analysis, quinone analysis, and numerical taxonomy based on their physiological reaction profiles. The last system consisted of 60 physiological tests and was arranged as a microtest system on microtitration plates. Based on fatty acid analyses, 31 isolates were separated into six clusters and five single-member clusters. The isolates of two clusters were identified as Alcaligenes faecalis and Pseudomonas diminuta. The remaining nine clusters were characterized by their fatty acid profiles, quinone systems, and physiological reaction profiles. Clusters resulting from fatty acid analyses were compared with those resulting from physiological reaction profiles. Six clusters could be confirmed this way. The efficiency of the physiological test system was increased by the prearrangement of the isolates according to their quinone type. 相似文献

A collection of 74 rhizobial isolates recovered from nodules of the desert woody legumes Prosopis glandulosa, Psorothamnus spinosus, and Acacia constricta were characterized by using 61 nutritional and biochemical tests. We compared isolates from A. constricta and Prosopis glandulosa and tested the hypothesis that the rhizobia from a deep-phreatic rooting zone of a Prosopis woodland in the Sonoran Desert of southern California were phenetically distinct from rhizobia from surface soils. Cluster analysis identified four major homogeneous groups. The first phenon contained slow-growing (SG) Prosopis rhizobia from surface and deep-phreatic-soil environments. These isolates grew poorly on most of the media used in the study, probably because of their requirement for a high medium pH. The second group of isolates primarily contained SG Prosopis rhizobia from the deep-phreatic rooting environment and included two fast-growing (FG) Psorothamnus rhizobia. These isolates were nutritionally versatile and grew over a broad pH range. The third major phenon was composed mainly of FG Prosopis rhizobia from surface and dry subsurface soils. While these isolates used a restricted range of carbohydrates (including sucrose) as sole carbon sources, they showed better growth on a range of organic acids as sole carbon sources and amino acids as sole carbon and nitrogen sources than did other isolates in the study. They grew better at 36°C than at 26°C. The FG Acacia rhizobia from surface-soil environments formed a final major phenon that was distinct from the Prosopis isolates. They produced very high absorbance readings on all of the carbohydrates tested except sucrose, grew poorly on many of the other substrates tested, and preferred a 36 to a 26°C incubation temperature. The surface populations of Prosopis rhizobia required a higher pH for growth and, under the conditions used in this study, were less tolerant of low solute potential and high growth temperature than were phreatic-soil isolates. SG Prosopis rhizobia from phreatic and surface soils were physiologically distinct, suggesting adaptation to their respective soil environments. 相似文献

AIMS: Our aim was to evaluate the effect of acid and alkaline pH on chickpea rhizobia, and on chickpea-rhizobia symbiosis. METHODS AND RESULTS: Forty-seven rhizobia isolates obtained from 12 Portuguese soils were grown at pH 5, 7 and 9. Among these, 26 grew more at pH 5 than at 7, suggesting the existence of acidophiles. All isolates were identified as mesorhizobia by 16S rDNA partial sequence analysis. Molecular phylogeny of isolates based on partial 16S rDNA sequences suggests that pH tolerance might be species related. Further studies were conducted with six isolates, which were able to grow at acid pH. Isolates PT-35 and 64b grow optimally at pH 6-5-7, with a minimal pH range from 5 to 3, and may thus be considered as moderately acidophilic. Both isolates belong to a previously identified putative new Mesorhizobium species, based on 16S rDNA sequence. CONCLUSIONS: Two moderately acidophilic mesorhizobia isolated from chickpea were identified (PT-35 and 64b). A positive correlation was found between the symbiotic effectiveness at low pH and the acid tolerance of rhizobia isolates. SIGNIFICANCE AND IMPACT OF THE STUDY: This is the first report on moderately acidophilic mesorhizobia, and is an important contribution for the development of highly effective inoculants for chickpea in acid soils. 相似文献

A total of about 50 strains of rhizobia from two leguminous trees (Acacia andProsopis) were described and compared with 20 reference strains of rhizobia, from other tree and herb legumes on the basis of protein, fatty acid and plasmid profiles, and DNA-DNA hybridization. The rhizobia formed thirteen clusters based on protein profile analysis. These clusters were not in complete agreement with a previously published cluster analysis based on numerical taxonomy of phenotypic characteristics and lipopolysaccharide (LPS) profile analysis (Zhanget al., Int. J. Syst. Bacteriol. 41, 104, 1991; Lindström and Zahran,FEMS Microbiol. Lett. 107, 327, 1993). The fatty acid methyl esters (FAME) of representative strains of rhizobia were analyzed. The rhizobia formed fourteen different clusters based on FAME analysis but the results also conflicted with the phenotypically based methods of analysis. Strains of rhizobia classified in one cluster by any of the above methods of analysis may have shown very different fatty acid profiles. The plasmid profile analysis of the tree rhizobia., on the other hand, was more consistent with the phenotype- and LPS-based numerical analysis. Some strains of the tree rhizobia showed medium or high levels of DNA homology withRhizobium meliloti. The DNA-DNA hybridization correlated well with protein and fatty acid profiles. The described methods provide a significant taxonomic tool for discrimination between rhizobia of leguminous trees. However, further DNA-DNA hybridization studies with other recognized species of rhizobia are needed for proper identification and classification of the diverse rhizobia from leguminous trees. 相似文献

An investigation was carried out to determine the diversity of 30 isolates of slow growing pigeonpea nodulating rhizobia based on variations in partial sequences of the 16S rRNA gene and numerical analysis of 80 phenotypic traits. Phylogenetic analysis using molecular sequences of 23 isolates showed that ARPE1 separated from the other isolates at an average distance of >14% divergence level. The other isolates were all within 5% divergence from each other but separated into four main groups, with group 1 containing 16 of the 23 isolates. Comparisons to sequences of reference strains revealed that the group 1 isolates were phylogenetically closely related to the slow growing soybean nodulating rhizobia belonging to Bradyrhizobium elkanii, although only three of these isolates were able to nodulate soybean. Numerical analysis of phenotypic data of 19 isolates showed that 14 isolates clustered together in one branch of the phenogram, which included the group 1, group 2 and group 4 isolates from the phylogenetic analysis. The group 3 isolates were highly variable in the phenogram with similarity levels lower than 50% among these isolates. 相似文献

Resin acids are tricyclic diterpenes which are synthesized by trees and are a major cause of toxicity of pulp mill effluents. Bacterial strains isolated from three different sources and which grow on resin acids were physiologically characterized. Eleven strains, representating distinct groups, were further characterized physiologically and phylogenetically. The isolates had distinct specificities for use, as growth substrates, of the different resin acids tested. The isolates also used fatty acids but were generally limited in use of other diverse substrates tested. According to their 16S rDNA sequences, the representative isolates are related to members of the genera, Sphingomonas, Zoogloea, Ralstonia, Burkholderia, Pseudomonas and Mycobacterium. Analysis of whole-cell fatty acid profiles generally supported those phylogenetic relationships. However, most of the isolated did not have high similarities to reference strains in the Microbial Identification System database of fatty acid profiles or in the Biolog database of substrate oxidation patterns. Described species of Sphingomonas, Zoolgoea, Burkholderia Pseudomonas, most closely related to the isolates we characterized, failed to grow on, or degrade, resin acids. We propose recognition of Zoogloea resiniphila sp. nov., Pseudomonas vancouverensis sp. nov., P. abietaniphila sp. nov. and P. multiresinivorans sp. nov. 相似文献

Effects of Diets High in Unsaturated Fatty Acids on Socially Induced Stress Responses in Guinea Pigs
Unsaturated fatty acids (UFAs), such as omega-3 and omega-6 poly- and omega-9 monounsaturated fatty acids are important nutrients and major components of neuronal cell membranes. They play a major role in modulating brain functions and physiology and may therefore diminish behavioral and physiological stress reactions in corroboration with decreased cortisol concentrations. Functionally, cortisol itself can modulate several behaviors and also the fatty acid metabolism in the long term. But only little is known about the behavioral and physiological influences of dietary UFAs in a social group, where individuals are regularly exposed to stressful situations. Therefore, the aim of this study was to determine the effects of dietary UFAs on saliva cortisol concentrations and behavioral responses in socially confronted guinea pigs. Three groups of animals were additionally supplemented with 500 mg chia seeds (high in omega-3), walnuts (high in omega-6), or peanuts (high in omega-9) per kg bodyweight each day and compared to a control group. During social confrontation saliva cortisol concentrations significantly increased in all groups, which was accompanied by a loss in bodyweight. However, cortisol levels remained lower in the chia and walnut groups compared to controls. Additionally, the walnut group displayed significantly increased locomotion, while no differences between groups were detected in socio-positive, sexual, or aggressive behaviors. Total plasma omega-3, omega-6, and omega-9 fatty acids were significantly increased in the corresponding groups, due to the dietary supplementations. However, a significant decrease in plasma omega-3 and an increase in plasma n-6 fatty acids were detected in the chia group when comparing the measurements before and after social confrontation. We conclude that both omega-3 and omega-6 polyunsaturated fatty acids can diminish behavioral and physiological stress responses to the social environment, enabling individuals to cope with social stressors, but at the expense of plasma derived omega-3 fatty acids. 相似文献

Biotypes, fatty acid profiles, and restriction fragment length polymorphisms of a PCR product (PCR-RFLP of the cereolysin AB gene) were compared for 62 isolates of the Bacillus cereus group. Eleven isolates originated from various foods, and 51 isolates were obtained from pasteurized milk which had been processed by two different dairies. The isolates were clustered into 6 biotypes, 10 fatty acid groups, or 7 PCR-RFLP clusters. Isolates with mesophilic or psychrotrophic characteristics were preferentially distributed into specific fatty acid or PCR-RFLP groups (P = 0.004). Unique fatty acid clusters were predominantly found in milk samples of each dairy (P < 0.0001), suggesting that certain dairy plants may harbor plant-specific B. cereus which might constantly contribute to postpasteurization contamination. 相似文献

Abstract Twenty-five isolates of dissimilatory sulfate-reducing bacteria were clustered based on similarity analysis of their phospholipid ester-linked fatty acids (PLFA). Of these, 22 showed that phylogenetic relationships based on the sequence similarity of their 16S rRNA directly paralleled the PLFA relationships. Desulfobacter latus and Desulfobacter curvatus grouped with the other Desulfobacter spp. by 16S rRNA comparison but not with the PLFA analysis as they contained significantly more monoenoic PLFA than the others. Similarly, Desulfovibrio africanus clustered with the Desulfovibrio spp. by 16S rRNA but not with them when analyzed by PLFA patterns because of higher monoenoic PLFA content. Otherwise, clustering obtained with either analysis was essentially congruent. The relationships defined by PLFA patterns appeared robust to shifts in nutrients and terminal electron acceptors. Additional analyses utilizing the lipopolysaccharide-lipid A hydroxy fatty acid patterns appeared not to shift the relationships based on PLFA significantly except when completely absent, as in Gram-positive bacteria. Phylogenetic relationships between isolates defined by 16S rRNA sequence divergence represent a selection clearly different from the multi-enzyme activities responsible for the PLFA patterns. Determination of bacterial relationships based on different selective pressures for various cellular components provides more clues to evolutionary history leading to a more rational nomenclature. 相似文献

A total of 354 indigenous bradyrhizobia were isolated from soybean nodules collected from five major crop grown regions. Host-specific 12 phages, each active on particular strains were selected. Factors, which influence the interaction between the host and phage, were examined. Four different types of plaques were detected. Nearly 17% of isolates were found resistant to all phages. Phage sensitivity patterns revealed a total of 32 distinct phage genotype groups. Different set of phage combinations expressed variation in specificity for parasitizing against particular group of rhizobia. Distributions of isolates in each phage types differed markedly between regions. Interestingly, nine strains belonging to phage group 16 exhibited high ex planta nitrogenase activity in culture. However, no correlation could be established between high ex planta nitrogenase activity and their symbiotic effectiveness with soybean cultivars. Soybean cv. JS335 showed relatively superior performance than Bragg and Lee with indigenous bradyrhizobial strains. Phage typing revealed the existence of large genetic diversity among native rhizobia and selection of the superior bradyrhizobial strains can also be possible for a given soil-climate-cultivar complex. 相似文献

The taxonomic importance of fatty acid composition at genus and sub-genus level was evaluated by analysing the fatty acid
composition of fourteen different Microcystis isolates and seven additional members of the order Chroococcales. Fatty acid composition proved to be consistent within isolates.
Isolates were clustered into two major groups, namely A and B. Group B contained all the Microcystis isolates and was further divided into subgroups of varying similarity indicating the existence of different taxa. The Microcystis isolates were characterised by a high content of polyunsaturated fatty acids (27–44%) and a low content of palmitoleate.
The test organisms were arranged in a scheme indicating their possible phylogenetic relationship based on fatty acid composition
and other phenotypic characteristics. According to our data the toxic strains, represented by different isolates, of Microcystis appear as a distinct group. Furthermore two dubious species namely Microcystis incerta and a Synechocystis sp. could clearly be reasigned to different genera. The results demonstrated that fatty acid composition is an effective
taxonomic tool in clarifying taxonomical problems of Microcystis isolates.

Diaphorobacter nitroreducens gen nov,sp nov,a poly(3-hydroxybutyrate)-degrading denitrifying bacterium isolated from activated sludge 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Three denitrifying strains of bacteria capable of degrading poly(3-hydroxybutyrate) (PHB) and poly(3-hydroxybutyrate-co-3-hydroxyvalerate) (PHBV) were isolated from activated sludge and characterized. All of the isolates had almost identical phenotypic characteristics. They were motile gram-negative rods with single polar flagella and grew well with simple organic compounds, as well as with PHB and PHBV, as carbon and energy sources under both aerobic and anaerobic denitrifying conditions. However, none of the sugars tested supported their growth. The cellular fatty acid profiles showed the presence of C16:1omega7cis and C16:0 as the major components and of 3-OH-C10:0 as the sole component of hydroxy fatty acids. Ubiquinone-8 was detected as the major respiratory quinone. A 16S rDNA sequence-based phylogenetic analysis showed that all the isolates belonged to the family Comamonadaceae, a major group of beta-Proteobacteria, but formed no monophyletic cluster with any previously known species of this family. The closest relative to our strains was an unidentified bacterium strain LW1 (=DSM 13225) (99.9% similarity), reported previously as a 1-chloro-4-nitrobenzene degrading bacterium. DNA-DNA hybridization levels among the new isolates were more than 60%, whereas those between our isolates and strain DSM 13225 were less than 50%. The G+C content of genomic DNA of the new strains was 64 to 65 mol%. Based on these results, we concluded that the PHBV-degrading denitrifying isolates should be classified as a new genus and a new species, for which we propose the name Diaphorobacter nitroreducens. The type strain is strain NA10B (=JCM 11421=CIP 107294). We also propose to classify strain DSM 13225 as a genospecies of Diaphorobacter. 相似文献

Summary A survey of 35 legume species comprising 25 of Papilionoideae, 7 of Mimosoideae and 3 of Caesalpinioideae was made. Nodulation
was found in all the species except for 2 (Caesalpinnia pulcherrima and Cassia siamea) of Caesalpinioideae, both of which possessed dark coloured roots. Nodulation is reported for the first time for Adenanthera pavonina and Delonix regia. Nodule shapes were described and classified into different types. The isolates of rhizobia obtained belonged largely to
the slow growing group (17 isolates) isolated mainly from members of Papilionoideae; some belonged to the fast growing group
(14 isolates), and only 3 isolates belonged to the very slow growing group. The slow growing group isolates were confirmed
to be cowpea type rhizobia on the basis of positive nodulation with cowpea plants. re]19750829 相似文献

Colony characteristics, growth in litmus milk, precipitation in calcium glycerophosphate medium and utilization of carbon sources of the root-nodule bacteria isolated from the tropical legumes Leucaena, Mimosa, Acacia, Sesbania and Lablab were similar to fast-growing rhizobia of temperate legumes, particularly Rhizobium meliloti. In agglutination tests, isolates from each host shared antigens with one or more of five Rhizobium strains from Leucaena. Infective characteristics of the fast-growing rhizobia were studied in modified Leonard jars and in agar culture. Cross-infections by rhizobia between these plants were common and the association often effective. Lablab was effectively nodulated by its own fast-growing isolate but only formed root swellings, possibly ineffective pseudonodules, with the other isolates. Slow-growing rhizobia which were able to nodulate Macroptilium atropurpureus were unable to form nodules on these legumes except Lablab which was considered more akin to the cowpea group. All fast-growing isolates nodulated, often effectively, Vigna unguiculata and V. unguiculata ssp. sesquipedalis. The isolate from Lablab also effectively nodulated a number of other tropical legumes which have previously only been reported to nodulate with slow-growing nodule bacteria and it also produced ineffective nodulation on Medicago sativa. This is the first record of an effective fast-growing isolate from Lablab. 相似文献
