En este trabajo, hemos estudiado la transferencia y expresión del plásmido simbiótico PJB5JI de Rhizobium leguminosarum biovar viceae en diversas estirpes de Rhizobium sp. y Bradyrhizobium sp. que nodulan en Cicer arietinum y en Cajanus cajan. De los resu
Using different Sinorhizobium meliloti strains as hosts, we isolated eight new virulent phages from the rhizosphere of the coastal legume Medicago marina. Half of the isolated phages showed a very narrow host range while the other half exhibited a wider host range within the strains tested. Electron microscopy studies showed that phages...
Background Rhizobium tropici strain CIAT 899 establishes effective symbioses with several legume species, including Phaseolus vulgaris and Leucaena leucocephala. This bacterium synthesizes a large variety of nodulation factors in response to nod-gene inducing flavonoids and, surprisingly, also under salt stress conditions. The aim of this...
Members of Rhizobiaceae contain a homologue of the iron-responsive regulatory protein RirA. In different bacteria, RirA acts as a repressor of iron uptake systems under iron-replete conditions and contributes to ameliorate cell damage during oxidative stress. In Rhizobium leguminosarum and Sinorhizobium meliloti, mutations in rirA do not impair...
Plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) are free-living bacteria which actively colonize plant roots, exerting beneficial effects on plant development. The PGPR may (i) promote the plant growth either by using their own metabolism (solubilizing phosphates, producing hormones or fixing nitrogen) or directly affecting the plant metabolism...
Se ha propuesto que las proteínas externas de nodulación (Nops) impiden la nodulación efectiva de Sinorhizobium fredii USDA257 con las sojas americanas. S. fredii HH103 nodula de forma natural tanto conlas sojas asiáticas (no comercializadas) como con las americanas (comercializadas). La inactivación del gen rhcJ de HH103, que pertenece a la...
