    Notes: Abstract. The formation of nitrogen-fixing nodules on leguminous plants is the culmination of an integrated development involving many plant and bacterial genes. This review focuses on the structure, function and regulation of the bacterial genes involved in the nodulation process. We attempt to interpret recent observations on these genes in the context of signal exchanges which occur between the macro-and micro-symbionts.

    Notes: The Rhizobium leguminosarum biovar phaseoli symbiotic plasmid pRP2JI carries a gene, melA, specifying the enzyme tyrosinase, which is responsible for the production of the pigment melanin in these bacteria. Transcription of melA is activated by the nifA gene of Rhizobium and, when the cloned melA gene is transferred to Escherichia coli, melA is expressed if the recipients contain nifA gene of Klebsiella pneumoniae. This nifA-dependent activation was temperature sensitive and required the ntrA gene. The cloned nifA gene of K. pneumoniae, when transferred to a nifA mutant of Rhizobium phaseoli biovar phaseoli, corrected the Mer− but not the Fix− phenotype. nifA of R. leguminosarum biovar phaseoli activated melA at higher levels in cells grown in low concentrations of oxygen. Also, nifA of fl. leguminosarum biovar phaseoli activated nifH of K. pneumoniae in Escherichia coli cells grown In low-oxygen concentrations.

    Comparison of the chemotactic behaviour of Rhizobium leguminosarum with and without the nodulation plasmid (1988)

    Notes: The chemotactic behaviour of a strain of Rhizobium leguminosarum biovar viciae was investigated. The flavanoids apigenin and naringenin, inducers of transcription of the nodulation (nod) genes, were both potent attractants but hesperitin, another flavone nod gene inducer, was not. The response of strains containing the Sym plasmid pRL1JI to apigenin and naringenin was significantly greater than the response of a strain cured of the plasmid, although both strains gave a positive response. Addition of the flavanol kaempferol, an antagonist of nod gene induction, had no detectable effect on the chemotactic response to naringenin or aplgenin, but was itself found to be an attractant. The attractant response to a variety of amino acids and sugars was not affected by the presence of the Sym plasmid. Homoserine, the most abundant nitrogenous compound in legume exudates, was also found to be an attractant. However, although the Sym plasmid is required for the biovar to metabolize homoserine as a carbon source, it was not required for the chemotactic response. A group of membrane proteins showed increased methylation in response to stimulation with serine. There was no measurable change in methylation after stimulation with apigenin.

    Interaction of granitic and basic magmas: experimental observations on contamination processes at 10 kbar with H2O (1988)

    Notes: Abstract Experiments designed to simulate the interaction of juxtaposed rhyolitic and basic magmas were conducted at 10 kbar with H2O, using reaction-couples consisting of Westerly granite (WG) against basalt (DW-1) and WG against a synthetic mafic glass (SMG, enriched in MgO and Na2O relative to DW-1). Each couple was run with ∼5 and ∼10 wt% H2O corresponding respectively to H2O-undersaturated and H2O-oversaturated conditions. Experiments were run for 42–44 h at 920° C, above the liquidus of WG and within the melting intervals of DW-1 and SMG. WG was run above the basic material in all but one experiment. The composition of the granitic melt was altered only through material exchange with the adjacent basic melts, whereas that of the basic melts also changed (relative to the bulk basic composition) due to partial crystallization. Some crystallization also occurred within the zone of interaction. For control, the basic compositions were also run alone under the same conditions as the reaction-couple experiments. The crystalline phase assemblages in the basic ends of the coupled experiments differed from those produced from the basic materials alone, demonstrating interaction with the granite melt. Moreover, compositional gradients within the basic ends of coupled experiments are indicated by changes in phase assemblage and compositions with distance from the interface with WG. Microprobe analyses of glass collected along the length of the capsules confirm published observations that alkali diffusion is very fast: K2O and Na2O homogenized throughout the capsules in less than the two-day run times. This, coupled with the fact that introduction of K2O into SMG stabilized biotite, produced the result that after interaction the bulk basic material (melt+crystals) contained more K2O than the coexisting felsic melt. Only very gentle gradients for CaO, FeO, and MgO are preserved in our experiments, in contrast with published anhydrous results, suggesting that the difference in activity coefficients for these components between basic and felsic melts is reduced by the introduction of H2O. Gradients for SiO2 and Al2O3 are of comparable length to those of the divalent cations, confirming earlier results that the diffusivities of the network-formers limit the rate of diffusion of Ca, Fe, and Mg.

    Constraints on the origin of Archean trondhjemites based on phase relationships of Nûk gneiss with H2O at 15 kbar (1988)

    Notes: Abstract We report the T-X(H2O) phase relations for the trondhjemitic Nûk gneiss which comprises the principal component of the second phase of Archean (3.0–2.8 by) igneous activity in the Godthåb region of southwestern Greenland. A pressure of 15 kbar was chosen to place constraints on possible protoliths for trondhjemitic melts at lower crustal depths. Under H2O-saturated conditions, a melting interval of ∼135° C separates the solidus at ∼610° C from the liquidus at 745° C. H2O-saturation at 15 kbar occurs at approximately 15.5 wt % H2O. The H2O-undersaturated liquidus extends along a curved path from ∼745° C at 15.5 wt % H2O to ∼1100° C at 2% H2O. Lower H2O contents were not investigated. At low H2O contents (〈6%) sodic plagioclase (Pl, An32) is the liquidus phase followed at lower but still near-liquidus temperatures by quartz (Qz) and then garnet (Ga). At 6% H2O, Ga replaces Pl on the liquidus and is joined at slightly lower temperatures by Pl and hornblende (Hb). The field for liquidus Ga extends to only ∼7.5% H2O where it is replaced by Hb which is the liquidus phase up to 13% H2O. At all higher H2O contents, epidote (Ep) is the first phase to crystallize, followed by biotite (Bi) at slightly lower temperatures. Following the standard inverse approach, the near-liquidus phase assemblages are interpreted as potential residues from which trondhjemitic melts could be extracted. At high melt H2O contents (〉7%), mafic residues consisting of some combination of Hb, Ga, Ep, and Bi are possible and could correspond to amphibolitic source rocks. At lower melt H2O contents (〈 5%), possible residues consist of Na-Pl+Qz±Ga and could correspond to an earlier generation of tonalitic-trondhjemitic rocks. However, such residues would not impart the highly fractionated REE patterns characteristic of Archean trondhjemites. If a first generation of tonalitic-trondhjemitic melts was generated by higher pressure partial fusion of eclogite and emplaced at 55 km depth, it would crystallize to an assemblage consisting almost entirely of Na-Pl+Qz with highly fractionated REE patterns. These rocks in turn could be partially melted to yield a second generation of trondhjemites which would inherit the highly fractionated REE patterns because neigher Pl nor Qz is capable of significantly fractionating HREE from LREE.

    Analysis of pss genes of Rhizobium leguminosarum required for exopolysaccharide synthesis and nodulation of peas: Their primary structure and their interaction with psi and other nodulation genes (1988)

    Notes: Summary Strains of Rhizobium leguminosarum (R. l.) biovar viciae containing pss mutations fail to make the acidic exopolysaccharides (EPS) and are unable to nodulate peas. It was found that they also failed to nodulate Vicia hirsuta, another host of this biovar. When peas were co-inoculated with pss mutant derivatives of a strain of R.l. bv viciae containing a sym plasmid plus a cured strain lacking a sym plasmid (and which is thus Nod-, but for different reasons) but which makes the acidic EPS, normal numbers of nodules were formed, the majority of which failed to fix nitrogen (the occasional Fix+ nodules were pressumably induced by strains that arose as a result of genetic exchange between cells of the two inoculants in the rhizosphere). Bacteria from the Fix- nodules contained, exclusively, the strain lacking its sym plasmid. When pss mutant strains were co-inoculated with a Nod- strain with a mutation in the regulatory gene nodD (which is on the sym plasmid pRL1JI), normal numbers of Fix+ nodules were formed, all of which were occupiced solely by the nodD mutant strain. Since a mutation in nodD abolishes activation of other nod genes required for early stages of infection, these nod genes appear to be dispensable for subsequent stages in nodule development. Recombinant plasmids, containing cloned pss genes, overcame the inhibitory effects of psi, a gene which when cloned in the plasmid vector pKT230, inhibits both EPS production and nodulation ability. Determination of the sequence of the pss DNA showed that one, or perhaps two, genes are required for correcting strains that either carry pss mutations or contain multi-copy psi. The predicted polypeptide product of one of the pss genes had a hydrophobic aminoterminal region, suggesting that it may be located in the membrane. Since the psi gene product may also be associated with the bacterial membrane, the products of psi and pss may interact with each other.
