Abstract
  • Using the sequence of an insertion element originally found in Rhizobium sullae, the nitrogen-fixing bacterial symbiont of the legume Hedysarum coronarium, we devised three primer pairs (inbound, outbound and internal primers) for the following applications: (a) tracing genetic relatedness within rhizobia using a method independent of ribosomal inheritance, based on the presence and conservation of IS elements; (b) achieve sensitive and reproducible bacterial fingerprinting; (c) enable a fast and unambiguous detection of rhizobia at the species level. In terms of taxonomy, while in line with part of the 16S rRNA gene- and glutamine synthetase I-based clustering, the tools appeared nonetheless more coherent with the actual geographical ranges of origin of rhizobial species, strengthening the European-Mediterranean connections and discerning them from the asian and american taxa. The fingerprinting performance of the outward-pointing primers, designed upon the inverted repeats, was shown to be at least as sensitive as BOX PCR, and to be functional on a universal basis with all 13 bacterial species tested. The primers designed on the internal part of the transposase gene instead proved highly species-specific for R. sullae, enabling selective distinction from its most related species, and testing positive on every R. sullae strain examined, fulfilling the need of PCR-mediated species identification. A general use of other IS elements for a combined approach to rhizobial taxonomy and ecology is proposed. (literal)
