Analysis of the 1,683,333-nt sequence of the pSymB megaplasmid from the symbiotic N2-fixing bacterium Sinorhizobium meliloti revealed that the replicon has a high gene density with a total of 1,570...
Phosphate Assimilation in Rhizobium (Sinorhizobium) meliloti: Identification of a pit-Like Gene
Bardin, Sylvie D., Voegele, Ralf T., Finan, Turlough M.
Rhizobium meliloti mutants defective in the phoCDET-encoded phosphate transport system form root nodules on alfalfa plants that fail to fix nitrogen (Fix−). We have previously reported that two...
Chain, Patrick S. G., Hernandez-Lucas, Ismael, Golding, Brian, Finan, Turlough M.
We have developed a procedure to directly clone large fragments from the genome of the soil bacterium Sinorhizobium meliloti. Specific regions to be cloned are first flanked by parallel copies of an...
Novel Pathway for Arsenic Detoxification in the Legume Symbiont Sinorhizobium meliloti
Yang, Hung-Chi, Cheng, Jiujun, Finan, Turlough M., Rosen, Barry P., Bhattacharjee, Hiranmoy
We report a novel pathway for arsenic detoxification in the legume symbiont Sinorhizobium meliloti. Although a majority of ars operons consist of three genes, arsR (transcriptional regulator), arsB...
Guo, Hong, Sun, Sheng, Finan, Turlough M., Xu, Jianping
Variation in genome size and content is common among bacterial strains. Identifying these naturally occurring differences can accelerate our understanding of bacterial attributes, such as ecological...
Yuan, Ze-Chun, Zaheer, Rahat, Finan, Turlough M.
The properties and regulation of the pstSCAB-encoded Pi uptake system from the alfalfa symbiont Sinorhizobium meliloti are reported. We present evidence that the pstSCAB genes and the regulatory...
Genome prediction of PhoB regulated promoters in Sinorhizobium meliloti and twelve proteobacteria
Yuan, Ze-Chun, Zaheer, Rahat, Morton, Richard, Finan, Turlough M.
In proteobacteria, genes whose expression is modulated in response to the external concentration of inorganic phosphate are often regulated by the PhoB protein which binds to a conserved motif (Pho...
Characterization of the β-Ketoadipate Pathway in Sinorhizobium meliloti
MacLean, Allyson M., MacPherson, Gordon, Aneja, Punita, Finan, Turlough M.
Aromatic compounds represent an important source of energy for soil-dwelling organisms. The β-ketoadipate pathway is a key metabolic pathway involved in the catabolism of the aromatic compounds...

Cowie, Alison, Cheng, Jiujun, Sibley, Christopher D., Fong, Ying, Zaheer, Rahat, Patten, Cheryl L., ...
As a means of investigating gene function, we developed a robust transcription fusion reporter vector to measure gene expression in bacteria. The vector, pTH1522, was used to construct a random...
Malic Enzyme Cofactor and Domain Requirements for Symbiotic N2 Fixation by Sinorhizobium meliloti▿ †
Mitsch, Michael J., Cowie, Alison, Finan, Turlough M.
The NAD+-dependent malic enzyme (DME) and the NADP+-dependent malic enzyme (TME) of Sinorhizobium meliloti are representatives of a distinct class of malic enzymes that contain a 440-amino-acid...
Genomes of the Symbiotic Nitrogen-Fixing Bacteria of Legumes1
