    Notes: Rough rice (cv. Cypress) from the 1995 season was harvested, dried, and stored in laboratory-scale studies. Treatments included pre-drying conditions, drying conditions, storage temperatures, and storage durations. Temporary wet storage prior to drying affected cooking properties (p〈0.005) and peak viscosity (p〈0.005). Drying treatments affected head rice yield (p〈0.05), cooking properties (p〈0.001), and peak viscosity (p〈0.05). Storage temperature was related (p〈0.05) to cooking properties and peak viscosity via a second-order relationship. Head rice yield and cooking properties were also affected (p〈0.05) by storage duration.

    Notes: Xanthomonas campestris pv campestris (Xcc) is a plant pathogenic bacterium that controls the production of pathogenicity factors in part by a cluster of genes designated rpf (regulation of pathogenicity factors). Sequence analysis of one of these genes (rpfA) revealed an open reading frame with amino acid sequence similarity to aconitases from other bacteria. Aconitase activity was lower in cellular extracts of an rpfA::Tn5 mutant than in those from the wild type. A zymogram of aconitase activity after native gel electrophoresis showed the presence of two distinct aconitases in Xcc; the major aconitase was absent in the rpfA::Tn5 mutant. This mutant also had reduced levels of extracellular enzymes and extracellular polysaccharide (EPS). Supplying rpfA in trans to the rpfA::Tn5 mutant restored both the major aconitase activity and the synthesis of these pathogenicity factors. The transcription of the genes for two extracellular enzymes (prtA, encoding a serine protease, and engXCA, encoding endoglucanase) was reduced in the rpfA mutant background. Because some eukaryotic aconitases are also involved in iron regulation, we explored a possible connection between rpfA and iron metabolism. Intracellular iron levels in the mutants were lower than in the wild type as assessed by sensitivity to the iron-activated antibiotic, streptonigrin. Wild-type bacteria grown in iron-deficient conditions had a similar sensitivity to streptonigrin as the aconitase mutant. Overall, these results suggest that a prokaryotic aconitase can also act as a regulator of gene expression and that the regulation is possibly related to changes in intracellular iron levels.

    Notes: Mutations in the seven clustered rpf genes cause downregulated synthesis of extracellular enzymes and reduced virulence of Xanthomonas campestris pathovar campestris (Xcc). The phenotype of mutants in one of the genes, rpfF, can be restored by a diffusible extracellular factor (DSF) produced by all Xcc strains tested, apart from rpfF and rpfB mutants. DSF accumulates in early stationary phase (when synthesis of enzymes is maximal), but levels decline subsequently. Addition of DSF to exponentially-growing wild-type bacteria does not cause precocious enzyme synthesis. rpfB and rpfF are expressed throughout growth, but the rate increases in early stationary phase. RpfB is predicted to be a long-chain fatty acyl CoA ligase, and RpfF shows some relatedness to enoyl CoA hydratases. The properties of DSF suggest that it may be a fatty-acid derivative, and certain lipid preparations possess DSF activity at higher concentrations. These include lipid extracts and acid-hydrolysed lipopolysaccharide and lipid A from Xcc, and purified dodecanoic and hydroxydodecanoic acid. DSF production is confined to certain xanthomonads. We propose a model for the DSF system, which represents a novel mechanism for regulating virulence factor synthesis in response to physiological or environmental changes.

    Notes: Abstract   Xanthomonas campestris pv. campestris, the causal agent of black-rot disease of cruciferous plants, and an important industrial microbe, was able to express the Escherichia coliβ-glucuronidase reporter gene (uidA) when fused to the E. coli lactose operon promoter on a wide-host-range plasmid vector. The gene fusion is expressed constitutively at high levels in both complex and defined media using a wide range of carbon sources, and is not repressible by glucose or inducible by the gratuitous lac inducer isopropyl β-d-thiogalactoside. An X. campestris campestris strain with a lesion in the clp (catabolite-repressor-like protein) locus, and containing the plac/uidA fusion, was tested for β-glucuronidase activity. We found that the expression of the plac/uidA fusion gene is dependent on the presence of catabolite-repressor-like protein, with an approximately 75% reduction of expression in the clp -deficient mutant.

    Notes: Abstract General studies of the bacterial pathogenXanthomonas campestris have revealed many classes of gene which are essential for pathogenicity to cruciferous plants. ‘Pathogenicity genes’ include structural genes encoding extracellular plant-degrading enzymes, genes required for the export (or secretion) of the enzymes from the bacterial cell, several independent sets of regulatory genes, a cluster ofhrp genes, and several genes of unknown function. Plants respond to infection by synthesizing characteristic pathogenesis-related proteins. The spectrum of proteins produced depends on the genotype of the challenging bacterium.Arabidopsis is susceptible to infection byXanthomonas, which should make it feasible to analyze plant resistance and response by molucular genetic techniques.

    Notes: Summary A Tn5-induced mutant strain of R. phaseoli which failed to synthesize exopolysaccharide (EPS) was isolated and was shown to induce normal nitrogen-fixing nodules on Phaseolus beans, the host of this Rhizobium species. The corresponding wild-type Rhizobium DNA was cloned in a wide host-range vector and by isolating Tn5 insertions in this cloned DNA, mutations in a gene termed pss (polysaccharide synthesis) were isolated. These were introduced by marker exchange into near-isogenic strains of R. leguminosarum and R. phaseoli which differed only in the identity of their symbiotic plasmids. Whereas the EPS-deficient mutant strain of R. phaseoli induced normal nitrogen-fixing nodules on Phaseolus beans, the same mutation prevented nodulation of peas by a strain of R. leguminosarum which normally nodulates this host. Further, it was found that DNA cloned from the plant pathogen Xanthomonas campestris pathover campestris could correct the defect in EPS synthesis in R. leguminosarum and R. phaseoli and also restored the ability to nodulate peas to the pss::Tn5 mutant strain of R. leguminosarum.

    Notes: Summary The cosmid clone. pIJ3020 containing DNA from the plant pathogenic bacterium Xanthomonas campestris pathovar campestris has previously been shown to complement a non-pathogenic mutant defective in synthesis of extracellular enzymes. The DNA cloned in pIJ3020 was analysed by mutagenesis with Tn5 and Tn5lac and by nucleotide sequencing. The results indicate that this region of the genome contains a cluster of genes, mutation in any of which results in failure of the enzymes and extracellular polysaccharide to be synthesized. The designation rpf (regulation of pathogenicity factors) is proposed for these genes. The nucleotide sequence of one gene (rpfC) predicts a protein product with homology to conserved domains of both sensor and regulator proteins of prokaryotic two-component regulatory systems, which are usually involved in regulating gene expression in response to environmental stimuli.
