RESUMO
One type of competitive interaction among rhizobia is that between nonnodulating and nodulating strains of Rhizobium leguminosarum on primitive pea genotypes. Pisum sativum cv. Afghanistan nodulates effectively with R. leguminosarum TOM, and this can be blocked in mixed inoculations by R. leguminosarum PF2, which does not nodulate this cultivar. We termed this PF2 phenotype Cnb+, for competitive nodulation blocking. Strain PF2 contains three large plasmids including a 250-kilobase-pair symbiotic (Sym) plasmid. Transfer of this plasmid, pSymPF2, to nonblocking rhizobia conferred the Cnb+ phenotype on recipients in mixed inoculations on cultivar Afghanistan with TOM. A library of the PF2 genome constructed in the vector pMMB33 was used to isolate two cosmid clones which hybridize to pSymPF2. These cosmids, pDD50 and pDD58, overlapped to the extent of 23 kilobase pairs and conferred a Cnb+ phenotype on recipient Cnb- rhizobia, as did pSD1, a subclone from the common region.
