Mesorhizobium loti

Fig. 2.90. Electropherograms of sterile root exudate before (a) and after incubation with Mesorhizobium loti (b) and Rhizobium leguminosarum bv. trifolii (c). From their UV spectra, peaks 1-6 were identified as resorcinol, rhamnetin, catechin, quercetin glycoside, quercetin aglycone and hesperidin. Differences in the retention times of the same compounds in different samples could be due to the variations in buffer temperature or sample composition. Reprinted with permission from H. L.

Figure 2 Phylogenetic neighbor-joining tree showing the phylogenetic relationship of arsenite oxidizing isolates BEN-5, NT-2, NT-3, NT-4, NT-25, and NT-26 with species belonging to the a-Proteobacteria. The sequence of Mesorhizobium loti was used as the outgroup. Significant bootstrap values from 100 analyses are shown at the branch points of the trees. Bar = 0.01% sequence difference.

The three enzymes involved in the vitamin Bg degradation pathway found in Mesorhizobium loti play key roles in the conversion of free forms of vitamin Bg in this method.
