BacS: An Abundant Bacteroid Protein in \u3cem\u3eRhizobium etli\u3c/em\u3e Whose Expression Ex Planta Requires \u3cem\u3enifA\u3c/em\u3e [PDF]
Rhizobium etli CFN42 bacteroids from bean nodules possessed an abundant 16-kDa protein (BacS) that was found in the membrane pellet after cell disruption. This protein was not detected in bacteria cultured in tryptone-yeast extract.

The Irr and RirA proteins participate in a complex regulatory circuit and act in concert to modulate bacterioferritin expression in Ensifer meliloti 1021 [PDF]
In this work we found that the bfr gene of the rhizobial species Ensifer meliloti, encoding a bacterioferritin iron storage protein, is involved in iron homeostasis and the oxidative stress response. This gene is located downstream of and overlapping the

Identification of genomic regions associated with partial resistance to Aphanomyces root rot in pea
Abstract Root rot caused by Aphanomyces euteiches is a major concern in pea (Pisum sativum L.). The lack of other effective control strategies makes crucial the development of resistant varieties. Although partial resistance has been reported, its quantitative inheritance, the association of resistance‐linked genomic regions with unfavorable agronomic ...

14CO2 and 32PO4 labelling of bean was used with Rhizobium tropici mutants. An alkaline phosphatase mutant was not affected for bacteroid P acquisition, though bacteroid and nodule 14C‐carbon uptake was altered. The high‐affinity P transporter mutant was defective in nodule P acquisition and symbiotic performance. Plant image by Brgfx/Freepik.

Bacterial fitness for plant colonization is influenced by plant growth substrate
Summary Despite advances in our understanding of bacterial plant colonization, the extent to which growth substrate influences the molecular mechanisms enabling bacteria to efficiently colonize plants remains poorly understood. To address this, we used randomly barcoded transposon mutagenesis sequencing (RB‐TnSeq) in Paraburkholderia graminis OAS925 ...

Sinorhizobium fredii HH103 RirA is required for oxidative stress resistance and efficient symbiosis with Soybean [PDF]
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 ...

Genome sequence of the clover-nodulating Rhizobium leguminosarum bv. trifolii strain SRDI943 [PDF]
Rhizobium leguminosarum bv. trifolii SRDI943 (strain syn. V2-2) is an aerobic, motile, Gram-negative, non-spore-forming rod that was isolated from a root nodule of Trifolium michelianum Savi cv. Paradana that had been grown in soil collected from a mixed

Input of nitrogen from N2 fixation to northern grasslands [PDF]
Forage legumes form N2-fixing symbioses with rhizobia and may thus make substantial contributions to the N pool in grasslands. However, to optimize their use as sources of N, it is important to elucidate the effects of management factors that influence ...

Permanent residents or temporary lodgers: characterizing intracellular bacterial communities in the siphonous green alga Bryopsis [PDF]
The ecological success of giant celled, siphonous green algae in coastal habitats has repeatedly been linked to endophytic bacteria living within the cytoplasm of the hosts.

Mutations in \u3cem\u3eRhizobium phaseoli\u3c/em\u3e that Lead to Arrested Development of Infection Threads [PDF]
Two Rhizobium phaseoli mutants, isolated previously by Tn5 mutagenesis, elicited infection threads which ceased development prematurely, usually within root hairs. These infection threads were wide, globular, and otherwise altered in morphology, compared
