Abstract:Sinorhizobium fredii YC4B is a spontaneous mutant derivative of strain YC4 that is unable to nodulate soybeans. The second-largest plasmid of strain YC4B, termed pSfrYC4b (810 kb), was transferred to S. fredii HN01SR, a strain which contains three large indigenous plasmids (pSfrHN01a, pSfrHN01b and pSfrHN01c). Surprisingly, two stable indigenous plasmids (pSfrHN01a and pSfrHN01b) of strain HN01SR were cured simultaneously by the introduction of pSfrYC4b. Furthermore, a novel, unstable plasmid (pHY4) became visible in agarose gels. The electrophoretic mobility of plasmid pHY4 was slower than that shown by the cured plasmids, indicating that the molecular weight of the former is higher than that of plasmids pSfrYC4b and pSfrHN01b. Replication gene repC-like sequences were detected by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) on pSfrHN01a and pSfrYC4b, but not on pSfrHN01b. Sau3AI and PstI restriction patterns of the PCR-amplified repC-like sequences from HN01SR and YC4B were very similar.
