Identification of Cbp1, a c-di-GMP Binding Chemoreceptor in Azorhizobium caulinodans ORS571 Involved in Chemotaxis and Nodulation of the Host Plant [PDF]
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2019 Cbp1, a chemoreceptor containing a PilZ domain was identified in Azorhizobium caulinodans ORS571, a nitrogen-fixing free-living soil bacterium that induces nodule formation in both the roots and stems of the host legume Sesbania rostrata.

Overexpression of the Chromosome Partitioning Gene parA in Azorhizobium caulinodans ORS571 Alters the Bacteroid Morphotype in Sesbania rostrata Stem Nodules [PDF]
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2019 Azorhizobium caulinodans ORS571 is a diazotroph that forms N2-fixing nodules on the roots and stems of the tropical legume Sesbania rostrata. Deletion of the parA gene of this bacterium results in cell cycle defects, pleiomorphic cell shape, and ...

Control of nitrogen fixation and ammonia excretion in Azorhizobium caulinodans. [PDF]
PLoS Genetics, 2022 Due to the costly energy demands of nitrogen (N) fixation, diazotrophic bacteria have evolved complex regulatory networks that permit expression of the catalyst nitrogenase only under conditions of N starvation, whereas the same condition stimulates ...

Carbamoylation of Azorhizobial Nod Factors Is Mediated by NodU
Molecular Plant-Microbe Interactions, 1999 Lipochitooligosaccharides (LCOs) synthesized by Azorhizobium caulinodans ORS571 are substituted at the nonreducing-terminal residue with a 6-O-carbamoyl group. LCO biosynthesis in A. caulinodans is dependent on the nodABCSUIJZnoeC operon.

Azorhizobium caulinodans ORS571 Colonizes the Xylem of Arabidopsis thaliana
Molecular Plant-Microbe Interactions, 2001 Improved conditions were used for the aseptic growth of Arabidopsis thaliana to investigate whether xylem colonization of A. thaliana by Azorhizobium caulinodans ORS571 might occur. When seedlings were inoculated with ORS571 (pXLGD4) tagged with the lacZ

Patterns of Pectin Methylesterase Transcripts in Developing Stem Nodules of Sesbania rostrata
Molecular Plant-Microbe Interactions, 2002 Differential display was applied to the early stages of the interaction between the tropical legume Sesbania rostrata and its microsymbiont Azorhizobium caulinodans ORS571.

Nod Factor Perception During Infection Thread Growth Fine-Tunes Nodulation
Molecular Plant-Microbe Interactions, 2007 Bacterial nodulation factors (NFs) are essential signaling molecules for the initiation of a nitrogen-fixing symbiosis in legumes. NFs are perceived by the plant and trigger both local and distant responses, such as curling of root hairs and cortical ...
