Protein synthesis of Bradyrhizobium japonicum bacteroids declines as a function of nodule age
Article Abstract:
The mechanism by which Bradyrhizobium japonicum bacteroids incorporate [35S]methionine or [3H]leucine into cytosolic proteins was investigated by radiolabeling techniques. The results revealed that only 3% to 6% of the amino acids were incorporated into proteins. Protein synthesis was stimulated by the presence of azide, chloramphenicol and acridine. In contrast, potassium salts, malate or amino acids inhibited synthesis. The rate of protein synthesis decreased 14 and 20 days after planting, suggesting that nodule development repressed protein synthesis.

A new Agrobacterium strain isolated from aerial tumors on Ficus benjamina L
Article Abstract:
Examination of tumorigenic and nonpathogenic agrobacteria isolated from crown gall tumors on Ficus benjamina L. by classical diagnostic tests reveals the nonpathogenic strains as Agrobacterium tumefaciens. Characterization of tumorigenic fig strains reveals that their sequence is significantly different from those of A. tumefaciens and A. rubi, indicating the new tumorigenic fig strains as new Agrobacterium species. A comparative study of sequence helps determine the phylogenetic position of the tumorigenic fig strain AF3.10.

Putative porin of bradyrhizobium sp. (Lupinus) bacteroids induced by glyphosate
Article Abstract:
The polypeptide is characterized by the amino acid sequencing of its N terminus. It is putatively encoded by a single gene and the protein is identified as a putative porin.
