- Abstract
A better understanding of how bacteria resist stresses encountered during the progression of plant-microbe symbioses will advance our ability to stimulate plant growth. Here, we show that the symbiotic system comprising the nitrogen-fixing bacterium Bradyrhizobium diazoefficiens and the legume Aeschynomene afraspera requires hopanoid production for optimal fitness. While methylated (2Me) hopanoids contribute to growth under plant-cell-like microaerobic and acidic conditions in the free-living state, they are dispensable during symbiosis. In contrast, synthesis of extended (C35) hopanoids is required for growth microaerobically and under various stress conditions (high temperature, low pH, high osmolarity, bile salts, oxidative stress, and antimicrobial peptides) in the free-living state and also during symbiosis. These defects might be due to a less rigid membrane resulting from the absence of free or lipidA-bound C35 hopanoids or the accumulation of the C30 hopanoid diploptene. Our results also show that C35 hopanoids are necessary for symbiosis only with the host Aeschynomene afraspera but not with soybean. This difference is likely related to the presence of cysteine-rich antimicrobial peptides in Aeschynomene nodules that induce drastic modification in bacterial morphology and physiology. The study of hopanoid mutants in plant symbionts thus provides an opportunity to gain insight into host-microbe interactions during later stages of symbiotic progression, as well as the microenvironmental conditions for which hopanoids provide a fitness advantage.

Burkho/deria legume symbionts (also called a-rhizobia) are the main nitrogen-fixing symbionts of species belonging to the genus Mimosa in Brazil. We investigated the extent of the affinity between Burkholderia and species in the tribe Mimoseae by studying symbionts of the genera Piptadenia (P.), Parapiptadenia (Pp.), Pseudopiptadenia (Ps.), Pityrocarpa (Py.), Anadenanthera (A.) and Microlobius (Mi.), all of which are native to Brazil and are phylogenetically close to Mimosa, and which together with Mimosa comprise the "Piptadenia group". We characterized 196 strains sampled from 18 species from 17 locations in Brazil using two neutral markers and two symbiotic genes in order to assess their species affiliations and the evolution of their symbiosis genes. We found that Burkholderia are common and highly diversified symbionts of species in the Piptadenia group, comprising nine Burkholderia species, of which three are new ones and one was never reported as symbiotic (B. phenoliruptrix). Coinoculation assays showed a strong affinity of all the Piptadenia group species towards Burkholderia, with the exception of Mi. foetidus. Phylogenetic analyses of neutral and symbiotic markers showed that symbiosis genes in Burkholderia from the Piptadenia group have evolved mainly through vertical transfer, but also by horizontal transfer in two species. Keywords: Endophytic diazotrophic, Exopolymer, Prediction, Metabolic pathway.

P36 - Érosion, conservation et récupération des sols ,P34 - Biologie du sol - Abstract
Récemment, des bactéries ont été détectées dans le cytoplasme sporal de certains champignons mycorhiziens à arbuscules (CMA). En général représentées par l'espèce Candidatus Glomeribacter gigasporarum (CGg) (Biancotto et al., 2003, Salvioli et al., 2008), ces bactéries présentes dans les spores sont des endosymbiotes obligatoires de Gigaspora margarita (Gim) en particulier, et auraient un rôle majeur dans la croissance du champignon dans les premières étapes de la symbiose avec la plante (Lumini et al., 2007). L'objectif de cette étude est de comparer les communautés bactériennes des spores de Gim provenant de zones géographiques du Cameroun contrastées par rapport à la toxicité des sols (aluminique ou manganique, impactant fortement la croissance de plantes), afin d'étudier l'impact de ces stress sur ces communautés et leur possible rôle dans l'adaptation du champignon. Les spores de Gim isolées de différents sites du Cameroun à toxicité Al et Mn ont été purifiées et utilisées pour la détection directe des bactéries à l'intérieur du cytoplasme. L'amplification de l'ADNr 16S (amorces universelles ou spécifiques de taxons bactériens) couplée aux observations des spores au microscope confocal, ont révélé la présence de trois groupes de bactéries: CGg, Burkholderia et des Firmicutes, dont la répartition varie en fonction du site d'origine des spores. Une très faible abondance des CGg a été observée dans les spores de Gim isolés des sols acides (1/20 à 1/200 par rapport à l'espèce de référence Gim BEG34 provenant de sol tempéré). En revanche, cette faible abondance de CGg s'accompagne d'une forte présence des Burkholderia et des Firmicutes, qui semblent montrer un potentiel intéressant dans la tolérance des spores de CMA aux sols acides. En effet, une germination rapide des spores (2 jours) et une croissance importante des hyphes (> 80011m) ont été observées et mesurées sur milieu gélosé (0,7%) à pH 4 et contenant des concentrations en Al (600 µM) et Mn (600 µM). L'étude des relations fonctionnelles entre bactéries et champignons au cours de la symbiose, ainsi que l'impact de l'inoculation de spores contenant ces populations d'endobactéries sur la symbiose mycorhizienne avec le maïs, en fonction de la toxicité du substrat, est en cours.

Insularity, geological history and biogeography have made from New-Caledonia a hot spot of biodiversity where extremely diversified ecosystems occupies ultramafic terrains with drastic edaphic conditions in terms of fertility and metallic toxicity. In the framework of the mine project of the Koniambo Massif, a large nickel deposit, we tried to explore the diversity of ectomycorrhizal symbioses within these poorly explored natural ultramafic ecosystems. Floristic inventories along an altitudinal gradient ranging from 700 to 900 m evidenced 4 different plant communities. The 2 lower plant communities, 3 and 4, were dominated by 2 endemic tree genera, Tristaniopsis (Leptospermoideae) and Nothofagus (Nothofagaceae) respectively, whose ectomycorrhizal (ECM) status was shown and explored through molecular methods on sporocarps, mycorrhizae and soil mycelium. We evidenced a diversified fungal community in the basal plant community dominated by two tree species of the genus Nothofagus. The molecular characterization of these ECM fungi was established on the total ribosomal inter transcribed spacer (ITS) by PCR-sequencing and BLASTn analysis, revealing the relative abundance of the Cortinariaceae among our samples. Samples belonging to this fungal family were phylogenetically analyzed on the same ITS, in reference to sequences of samples with geographically different origins, including countries derived from the Gondwanaland fragmentation. If no clear phylogenetical relationships were evidenced, our study confirmed the same relative dominance of ECM Nothofagaceae, as well as the relative abundance of associated Cortinariaceae, in New Caledonia as in several of the Gondwanaland-originating countries.

- Abstract
Lipopolysaccharides (LPSs) are major components of the outer membrane of Gram-negative bacteria and are essential for their growth and survival. They act as a structural barrier and play an important role in the interaction with eukaryotic hosts. Here we demonstrate that a photosynthetic Bradyrhizobium strain, symbiont of Aeschynomene legumes, synthesizes a unique LPS bearing a hopanoid covalently attached to lipid A. Biophysical analyses of reconstituted liposomes indicate that this hopanoid-lipid A structure reinforces the stability and rigidity of the outer membrane. In addition, the bacterium produces other hopanoid molecules not linked to LPS. A hopanoid-deficient strain, lacking a squalene hopene cyclase, displays increased sensitivity to stressful conditions and reduced ability to survive intracellularly in the host plant. This unusual combination of hopanoid and LPS molecules may represent an adaptation to optimize bacterial survival in both free-living and symbiotic states.

In the context of climate change, increasing earth population and burst of energy cost, legumes should contribute more to both food security and sustainable management of natural resources (water, soils) in the next years. A collaborative work with research groups in several developing countries during the past 20 years focused on investigation and sampling of local wild legumes (herbs, shrubs and trees) having environmental/agronomic/forestry potential in West Africa and in the Mediterranean region. New symbiotic systems were discovered, resulting in new models for fundamental research, and new applications. This is, for one part, due to their associated microsymbionts, often belonging to unexpected bacterial groups with original physiological / metabolic properties i.e. photosynthesis, freeliving nitrogen fixation, methylothrophy, tolerance to extreme environmental conditions (salinity, aridity, heavy metals, hydrocarbon breakdown), stem nodulation, beneficial associations with non-legume plants (cereals). This may account for their wider adaptation to a variety of plant species and ecological habitats than previously thought, opening new insights for the domestication of these " multipurpose rhizobia ". Indeed new arable soils are required wordwide, often from degraded lands, affected by aridity, salinity, mining activities, pollution. Rhizobia may thus participate as tools Several examples picked up from our diversity investigations over recent years will be presented to illustrate either success stories of beneficial use of these new symbioses or reasonably good perspectives of application of research in different aspects, soil fertility regeneration/maintenance, food crop production optimization (i.e. green manure, nematode control, associated cultures), sustainable environmental management. Federated farmer organizations at the local, regional and national levels are active collaborative partners in research and dissemination of results to their end user members (small farmers, NGOs, foresters agronomists and cattle breeders, industrials...).

Le cèdre fournit un bois apprécié depuis plusieurs millénaires. Néanmoins, son importance économique reste limitée du fait de sa répartition géographique restreinte au bassin méditerranéen et à l'Himalaya. Cedrus atlantica occupe une place majeure parmi les espèces de ce genre, avec des peuplements très importants au Maroc. Le bloc du Moyen Atlas marocain (130 000 ha) est exposé à des maladies cryptogamiques, en particulier le "M'jej", qui diminue de 40% le rendement au sciage. Le M'jej provoque une pourriture fibreuse du bois de coeur. Parmi les nombreux genres et espèces fongiques décrits comme responsables du M'jej, tous sont synonymes soit de Phellinus chrysoloma, soit de P. pini. Identifiées suivant les caractères morphologiques, anatomiques et écologiques des carpophores, ces deux espèces seraient les principaux agents responsables du M'jej. Nos travaux de caractérisation moléculaire d'échantillons récoltés sur des arbres malades et la comparaison avec des séquences de référence montrent la proximité taxinomique de ces deux espèces, suggérant leur synonymie.

Cedar wood is well appreciated since thousand years even though its economical importance is limited because of its world distribution restricted to some Mediterranean countries and Himalaya. The most important species, Cedrus atlantica have its biggest population in Morocco (130 000 ha) where it is submitted to fungal diseases. Among them, the locally named "M'jej" reduced notably saw mile harvest, with about 12% infection rates. "M'jej" induced fibrous rot of heartwood. Among the various genera and species described as responsible for M'jej, all are synonyms of Phellinus chrysoloma or P. pini. Identified according to fruit bodies morphological, anatomical and ecological characters, both species would be responsible for M'jej. Molecular characterisation based on samples collected from infested trees and the comparison with reference data base sequences allowed us to evidence very close taxonomical relationships between these two species suggesting their putative synonymy.

Heavy metal contamination of soils originating from industrial activities (e.g., metal mining and smelting) is a major environmental problem in many parts of the world. In addition to the high heavy metal levels, plants and microorganisms have to face to very low content in nitrogen and to limited water supply due to porous substrates (Requena et al., 2001 ; Escarré et al., 2000). Isolation and selection of both metal-resistant and symbiotic nitrogen-fixing plant-bacterium system will be a crucial aspect to overcome the main constraint of N input in mine tailings. We have identified in an ancient Zn-Pb mine in the South of France, a metalliferous Anthyllis vulneraria ecotype able to fix nitrogen in the presence of heavy metals. Our objective was therefore to isolate and to characterize rhizobium strains from nodules directly collected from root plant systems growing in metal-contaminated substrates. According to the 16S sequencing data, the bacterial isolates obtained belong to Mesorhizobium genus, with an unexpected diversity. Metal-resistant phenotypes of Mesorhizobium isolates were characterised by culture in media supplemented with Zn or Pb. Isolates exhibited variable tolerance degree to Zn and at least 4 different phenotypes were recorded. Pb resistance was 5-10 times lower and few phenotypes were observed. The presence of the resistance genes like czcD gene was confirmed by PCR and sequencing in some strains. The selection and the practical use of metalliferous efficient nitrogen-fixing Anthyllis vulneraria-Mesorhizobium associations will help to improve plant cover of heavy-metal-enriched spoils heaps and therefore could be proposed as a new tool for bioremediation of area affected by heavy-metal contamination.

Le bois possède une structure très complexe. Les particularités de son organisation cellulaire, sa composition chimique et l'identité génétique de chaque espèce conditionnent ses propriétés parmi lesquelles sa sensibilité vis-à-vis des agents biologiques. Champignons et insectes attaquent le bois, brisant sa structure cellulaire en altérant ses caractéristiques physiques et esthétiques. Les champignons de pourritures cubique, fibreuse ou molle, en utilisant les différents constituants du bois comme source carbonée, engendrent sa dégradation en provoquant des altérations profondes et irréversibles de toutes ses propriétés, couleur, dureté, propriétés mécaniques. Ces propriétés catalytiques fondamentales au bon fonctionnement de la plupart des écosystèmes terrestres représentent une nuisance grave pour les bois mis en service. Mieux connaître les organismes impliqués dans ces dégradations afin de s'en protéger pour assurer la durabilité du bois mis en service doit permettre de déterminer l'exacte quantité du pesticide requis pour une préservation du bois efficace et respectueuse de l'environnement. Pour cela, le CIRAD-Forêt a entrepris une caractérisation moléculaire des 800 souches de sa collection de champignons lignivores. Ainsi, les régions de l'ADN ribosomique nucléaire comprenant les parties ITS1, ITS2 et 5,8S de 103 Aphyllophorales ont été amplifiées par PCR en utilisant les amorces ITS1 et ITS4. L'analyse des poids moléculaires des amplifiats a permis de mettre en évidence un polymorphisme de longueur de cette région permettant de définir deux principaux groupes d'isolats: un premier avec un ITS ayant une longueur voisine de 635 paires de bases et un second avec une longueur voisine de 725 paires de bases. L'utilisation d'enzymes de restriction a permis de préciser la caractérisation de ces isolats et d'en révéler la diversité. Enfin, le séquençage des amplifiats obtenus avec les amorces ITS1 et ITS4 a été réalisé sur 69 souches parmi les 103 initialement étudiées. Les comparaisons de ces séquences entre-elles et avec des séquences de la base de données NCBI ont permis de mettre en évidence des variabilités inter et intraspécifiques importantes, de nature à remettre en cause la détermination des souches ou la systématique de certains groupes comme tes Spongipelis spp. et les Antrodia spp. Par ailleurs, le positionnement phylogénétique de ces différents groupes met en évidence des clusters de souches de pourriture cubique distinct des clusters de souches de pourritures fibreuses.

- Abstract
The ability of photosynthetic Bradyrhizobium strains ORS285 and ORS278 to nodulate soybeans was investigated. While the nod gene-deficient ORS278 strain induced bumps only on soybean roots, the nod gene-containing ORS285 strain formed nitrogenfixing nodules. However, symbiotic efficiencies differed drastically depending on both the soybean genotype used and the culture conditions tested.

- Abstract
Burkholderia legume symbionts (also called a-rhizobia) are ancient in origin and are the main nitrogen-fixing symbionts of species belonging to the large genus Mimosa in Brazil. We investigated the extent of the affinity between Burkholderia and species in the tribe Mimoseae by studying symbionts of the genera Piptadenia (P.), Parapiptadenia (Pp.), Pseudopiptadenia (Ps.), Pityrocarpa (Py.), Anadenanthera (A.) and Microlobius (Mi.), all of which are native to Brazil and are phylogenetically close to Mimosa, and which together with Mimosa comprise the ''Piptadenia group''. We characterized 196 strains sampled from 18 species from 17 locations in Brazil using two neutral markers and two symbiotic genes in order to assess their species affiliations and the evolution of their symbiosis genes. We found that Burkholderia are common and highly diversified symbionts of species in the Piptadenia group, comprising nine Burkholderia species, of which three are new ones and one was never reported as symbiotic (B. phenoliruptrix). However, a-rhizobia were also detected and were occasionally dominant on a few species. A strong sampling site effect on the rhizobial nature of symbionts was detected, with the symbiont pattern of the same legume species changing drastically from location to location, even switching from b to a-rhizobia. Coinoculation assays showed a strong affinity of all the Piptadenia group species towards Burkholderia genotypes, with the exception of Mi. foetidus. Phylogenetic analyses of neutral and symbiotic markers showed that symbiosis genes in Burkholderia from the Piptadenia group have evolved mainly through vertical transfer, but also by horizontal transfer in two species.

- Abstract
Rhizobia are soil bacteria able to develop a nitrogen-fixing symbiosis with legumes. They are taxonomically spread among the alpha and beta subclasses of the Proteobacteria. Mimosa pudica, a tropical invasive weed, has been found to have an affinity for beta-rhizobia, including species within the Burkholderia and Cupriavidus genera. In this study, we describe the diversity of M. pudica symbionts in the island of New Caledonia, which is characterized by soils with high heavy metal content, especially of Ni. By using a plant-trapping approach on four soils, we isolated 96 strains, the great majority of which belonged to the species Cupriavidus taiwanensis (16S rRNA and recA gene phylogenies). A few Rhizobium strains in the newly described species Rhizobium mesoamericanum were also isolated. The housekeeping and nod gene phylogenies supported the hypothesis of the arrival of the C. taiwanensis and R. mesoamericanum strains together with their host at the time of the introduction of M. pudica in New Caledonia (NC) for its use as a fodder. The C. taiwanensis strains exhibited various tolerances to Ni, Zn and Cr, suggesting their adaptation to the specific environments in NC. Specific metal tolerance marker genes were found in the genomes of these symbionts, and their origin was investigated by phylogenetic analyses.

- Abstract
ln the context of climate change, increasing earth population, and burst of energy cost, legumes should contribute more to 60th food security and sustainable management of natural resources (water and soils) in the next years. A collaborative work with research groups in several developing countries during the past 20 years focused on investigation and sampling of local wild legumes (herbs, shrubs, and trees) with environmental/agronomic/forestry potential in West Africa and in the Mediterranean region. New symbiotic systems were discovered, resulting in new models for fundamental research, and new applications. This is, for one part, due to their associated microsymbionts, often belonging to unexpected bacterial groups with original physiological/metabolic properties, i.e. photosynthesis, free-living nitrogen fixation, methylothrophy, tolerance to extreme environmental conditions (salinity, aridity, heavy metals, a,d hydrocarbon breakdown), stem nodulation, and beneficial associations with non-Iegume plants (cereals). This may account for their wider adaptation to a variety of plant species and ecological habitats than previously thought, opening new insights for the domestication of these "multipurpose rhizobia". Indeed, new arable soils are required worldwide, often from degraded lands, affected by aridity, salinity, mining activities, and pollution. Rhizobia may thus participate as tools. Several examples picked up from our diversity investigations over recent years will be presented to illustrate either success stories of beneficial use of these new symbioses or reasonably good perspectives of application of research in different aspects, soil fertility regeneration/maintenance, food crop production optimization (i.e. green manure, nematode control, and associated cultures), and sustainable environmental management. We will present how federations farmers organizations at the local, regional, and national levels became active collaborative partners in these stu

- Abstract
We investigated the presence of endophytic rhizobia within the roots of the wetland wild rice Oryza breviligulata, which is the ancestor of the African cultivated rice Oryza glaberrima. This primitive rice species grows in the same wetland sites as Aeschynomene sensitiva, an aquatic stem-nodulated legume associated with photosynthetic strains of Bradyrhizobium. Twenty endophytic and aquatic isolates were obtained at three différent sites in West Africa (Senegal and Guinea) from nodal roots of 0. breviligulata and surrounding water by using A. sensitiva as a trap legume. Most endophytic and aquatic isolates were photosynthetic and belonged to the same phylogenetic Bradyrhizobium/blastobacter subgroup as the typical photosynthetic Bradyrhizobium strains previously isolated from Aeschynomene stem nodules. Nitrogen-fixing activity, measured by acetylene reduction, was detected in rice plants inoculated with endophytic isolates. A 20% increase in the shoot growth and grain yield of 0. breviligulata grown in a greenhouse was also observed upon inoculation with one endophytic strain and one Aeschynomene photosynthetic strain. The photosynthetic Bradyrhizobium sp. strain ORS278 extensively colonized the root surface, followed by intercellular, and rarely intracellular, bacterial invasion of the rice mots, which was determined with a lacZ-tagged mutant of ORS278. The discovery that photosynthetic Bradyrhizobium strains, which are usually known to induce nitrogen-fixing nodules on stems of the legume Aeschynomene, are also natural true endophytes of the primitive rice 0. breviligulata could significantly enhance cultivated rice production.

The semi-aquatic legumes belonging to the genus Aeschynomene constitute a premium system for investigating the origin and evolution of unusual symbiotic features such as stem nodulation and the presence of a Nod-independent infection process. This latter apparently arose in a single Aeschynomene lineage. But how this unique Nod-independent group then radiated is not yet known., We have investigated the role of polyploidy in Aeschynomene speciation via a case study of the pantropical A. indica and then extended the analysis to the other Nod-independent species. For this, we combined SSR genotyping, genome characterization through flow cytometry, chromosome counting, FISH and GISH experiments, molecular phylogenies using ITS and single nuclear gene sequences, and artificial hybridizations., These analyses demonstrate the existence of an A. indica polyploid species complex comprising A. evenia (C. Wright) (2 n = 2x = 20), A. indica L. s.s. (2 n = 4x = 40) and a new hexaploid form (2 n = 6x = 60). This latter contains the two genomes present in the tetraploid ( A. evenia and A. scabra) and another unidentified genome. Two other species, A. pratensis and A. virginica, are also shown to be of allopolyploid origin., This work reveals multiple hybridization/polyploidization events, thus highlighting a prominent role of allopolyploidy in the radiation of the Nod-independent Aeschynomene.

AESCHYNOMENE , *BRADYRHIZOBIUM , *DNA , *PHYLOGENY , *INTRONS - Abstract
Legumes in the genus Aeschynomene form nitrogen-fixing root nodules in association with Bradyrhizobium strains. Several aquatic and subaquatic species have the additional capacity to form stem nodules, and some of them can symbiotically interact with specific strains that do not produce the common Nod factors synthesized by all other rhizobia. The question of the emergence and evolution of these nodulation characters has been the subject of recent debate., We conducted a molecular phylogenetic analysis of 38 different Aeschynomene species. The phylogeny was reconstructed with both the chloroplast DNA trnL intron and the nuclear ribosomal DNA ITS/5.8 S region. We also tested 28 Aeschynomene species for their capacity to form root and stem nodules by inoculating different rhizobial strains, including nod ABC-containing strains ( ORS285, USDA110) and a nod ABC-lacking strain ( ORS278)., Maximum likelihood analyses resolved four distinct phylogenetic groups of Aeschynomene. We found that stem nodulation may have evolved several times in the genus, and that all Aeschynomene species using a Nod-independent symbiotic process clustered in the same clade., The phylogenetic approach suggested that Nod-independent nodulation has evolved once in this genus, and should be considered as a derived character, and this result is discussed with regard to previous experimental studies.

BURKHOLDERIA ,PIPTADENIA ,BIODIVERSITY ,HOST-parasite relationships ,MICROBIOLOGY ,BACTERIOLOGY - Abstract
Burkholderia legume symbionts (also called α-rhizobia) are ancient in origin and are the main nitrogen-fixing symbionts of species belonging to the large genus Mimosa in Brazil. We investigated the extent of the affinity between Burkholderia and species in the tribe Mimoseae by studying symbionts of the genera Piptadenia (P.), Parapiptadenia (Pp.), Pseudopiptadenia (Ps.), Pityrocarpa (Py.), Anadenanthera (A.) and Microlobius (Mi.), all of which are native to Brazil and are phylogenetically close to Mimosa, and which together with Mimosa comprise the “Piptadenia group”. We characterized 196 strains sampled from 18 species from 17 locations in Brazil using two neutral markers and two symbiotic genes in order to assess their species affiliations and the evolution of their symbiosis genes. We found that Burkholderia are common and highly diversified symbionts of species in the Piptadenia group, comprising nine Burkholderia species, of which three are new ones and one was never reported as symbiotic (B. phenoliruptrix). However, α-rhizobia were also detected and were occasionally dominant on a few species. A strong sampling site effect on the rhizobial nature of symbionts was detected, with the symbiont pattern of the same legume species changing drastically from location to location, even switching from β to α-rhizobia. Coinoculation assays showed a strong affinity of all the Piptadenia group species towards Burkholderia genotypes, with the exception of Mi. foetidus. Phylogenetic analyses of neutral and symbiotic markers showed that symbiosis genes in Burkholderia from the Piptadenia group have evolved mainly through vertical transfer, but also by horizontal transfer in two species.

The genetic diversity of 221 M imosa pudica bacterial symbionts trapped from eight soils from diverse environments in French Guiana was assessed by 16 S rRNA PCR- RFLP, REP- PCR fingerprints, as well as by phylogenies of their 16 S rRNA and recA housekeeping genes, and by their nifH, nodA and nodC symbiotic genes. Interestingly, we found a large diversity of beta-rhizobia, with B urkholderia phymatum and B urkholderia tuberum being the most frequent and diverse symbiotic species. Other species were also found, such as B urkholderia mimosarum, an unnamed B urkholderia species and, for the first time in South America, C upriavidus taiwanensis. The sampling site had a strong influence on the diversity of the symbionts sampled, and the specific distributions of symbiotic populations between the soils were related to soil composition in some cases. Some alpha-rhizobial strains taxonomically close to R hizobium endophyticum were also trapped in one soil, and these carried two copies of the nodA gene, a feature not previously reported. Phylogenies of nodA, nodC and nifH genes showed a monophyly of symbiotic genes for beta-rhizobia isolated from M imosa spp., indicative of a long history of interaction between beta-rhizobia and M imosa species. Based on their symbiotic gene phylogenies and legume hosts, B . tuberum was shown to contain two large biovars: one specific to the mimosoid genus M imosa and one to South African papilionoid legumes.

Rhizobia are soil bacteria that are able to form symbiosis with plant hosts of the legume family. These associations result in the formation of organs, called nodules in which bacteria fix atmospheric nitrogen to the benefit of the plant. Most of our knowledge on the metabolism and the physiology of the bacteria during symbiosis derives from studying roots nodules of terrestrial plants. Here we used a proteomics approach to investigate the bacterial physiology of photosynthetic Bradyrhizobium sp. ORS278 during the symbiotic process with the semi aquatical plant Aeschynomene indica that forms root and stem nodules. We analyzed the proteomes of bacteria extracted from each type of nodule. First, we analyzed the bacteroid proteome at two different time points and found only minor variation between the bacterial proteomes of 2-week- and 3-week-old nodules. High conservation of the bacteroid proteome was also found when comparing stem nodules and root nodules. Among the stem nodule specific proteins were those related to the phototrophic ability of Bradyrhizobium sp. ORS278. Furthermore, we compared our data with those obtained during an extensive genetic screen previously published. The symbiotic role of four candidate genes which corresponding proteins were found massively produced in the nodules but not identified during this screening was examined. Mutant analysis suggested that in addition to the EtfAB system, the fixA locus is required for symbiotic efficiency., International Journal of Molecular Sciences, 15 (3), ISSN:1422-0067

The ability of photosynthetic Bradyrhizobium strains 0RS285 and 0RS278 to nodulate soybeans was investigated. While the nod gene-deficient 0RS278 strain induced bumps only on soybean roots, the nod gene-containing 0RS285 strain formed nitrogen-fixing nodules. However, symbiotic efficiencies differed drastically depending on both the soybean genotype used and the culture conditions tested. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

- Abstract
La ora actuală nu există un test rapid şi sigur pentru detectarea ciupercilor în lemn. Datorită extinderii problemelor cauzate de aceste microorganisme în industria lemnului, este necesar să se găsească un test rapid, uşor de utilizat, specific, cu o limită de detecție propriu-zisă scăzută şi cu potențial de automatizare. O tehnică dezvoltată în laboratoarele noastre combină toate calitățile necesare: 1) permite amplificarea specifică a secvenței de ADN genomic fungic prin PCR; 2) combină sensibilitatea şi siguranța PCR cu utilizarea unei baze de date internaționale de secvențe nucleice. Această metodă de detectare moleculară a ciupercii este utilizată în mod uzual în laboratoarele CIRAD pentru a identifica ciupercile de putregai alb şi brun din construcții şi din lemnul pentru construcții. Metoda de detectare moleculară a ciupercilor, deja utilizată în laboratoarele noastre, a fost aplicată pe epruvete din lemn prelevate din stâlpi de diverse clase de vârstă, din rețeaua de distribuție Hydro-Québec din Canada.

International audience; In response to the presence of compatible rhizobium bacteria, legumes form symbiotic organs called nodules on their roots. These nodules house nitrogen-fixing bacteroids that are a differentiated form of the rhizobium bacteria. In some legumes, the bacteroid differentiation comprises a dramatic cell enlargement, polyploidization, and other morphological changes. Here, we demonstrate that a peptidoglycan-modifying enzyme in Bradyrhizobium strains, a DD-carboxypeptidase that contains a peptidoglycan-binding SPOR domain, is essential for normal bacteroid differentiation in Aeschynomene species. The corresponding mutants formed bacteroids that are malformed and hypertrophied. However, in soybean, a plant that does not induce morphological differentiation of its symbiont, the mutation does not affect the bacteroids. Remarkably, the mutation also leads to necrosis in a large fraction of the Aeschynomene nodules, indicating that a normally formed peptidoglycan layer is essential for avoiding the induction of plant immune responses by the invading bacteria. In addition to exopolysaccharides, capsular polysaccharides, and lipopolysaccharides, whose role during symbiosis is well defined, our work demonstrates an essential role in symbiosis for yet another rhizobial envelope component, the peptidoglycan layer.

The photosynthetic bradyrhizobia are able to use a Nod-factor independent process to induce nitrogen-fixing nodules on some semi-aquatic Aeschynomene species. These bacteria display a unique LPS O-antigen composed of a new sugar, the bradyrhizose that is regarded as a key symbiotic factor due to its non-immunogenic character. In this study, to check this hypothesis, we isolated mutants affected in the O-antigen synthesis by screening a transposon mutant library of the ORS285 strain for clones altered in colony morphology. Over the 10,000 mutants screened, five were selected and found to be mutated in two genes, rfaL, encoding for a putative O-antigen ligase and gdh encoding for a putative dTDP-glucose 4,6-dehydratase. Biochemical analysis confirmed that the LPS of these mutants completely lack the O-antigen region. However, no effect of the mutations could be detected on the symbiotic properties of the mutants indicating that the O-antigen region of photosynthetic Bradyrhizobium strains is not required for the establishment of symbiosis with Aeschynomene.

- Abstract
Rhodopseudomonas palustris is a purple photosynthetic bacterium that accumulates in the inner membrane the photosynthetic pigment spirilloxanthin, formed from lycopene. Here, we describe the procedures used to successfully engineer Rps. palustris strains to reroute the production of lycopene toward the synthesis of ß-carotene or canthaxanthin. The crtCD genes specifically involved in spirilloxanthin were replaced by crtY and crtW genes from Bradyrhizobium ORS278 to synthesize ß-carotene and (or) canthaxanthin, two pigments of industrial interest. Since the synthesis of canthaxanthin depends on the presence of oxygen, the procedure to optimize their production is also proposed. By modulating the light and oxygen during the growth process, a single species of photosynthetic bacteria, with an efficient growth rate, produces various carotenoids of economical interest.

100. The Very Long Chain Fatty Acid (C 26 :25OH) Linked to the Lipid A Is Important for the Fitness of the Photosynthetic Bradyrhizobium Strain ORS278 and the Establishment of a Successful Symbiosis with Aeschynomene Legumes.

- Abstract
In rhizobium strains, the lipid A is modified by the addition of a very long-chain fatty acid (VLCFA) shown to play an important role in rigidification of the outer membrane, thereby facilitating their dual life cycle, outside and inside the plant. In Bradyrhizobium strains, the lipid A is more complex with the presence of at least two VLCFAs, one covalently linked to a hopanoid molecule, but the importance of these modifications is not well-understood. In this study, we identified a cluster of VLCFA genes in the photosynthetic Bradyrhizobium strain ORS278, which nodulates Aeschynomene plants in a Nod factor-independent process. We tried to mutate the different genes of the VLCFA gene cluster to prevent the synthesis of the VLCFAs, but only one mutant in the lpxXL gene encoding an acyltransferase was obtained. Structural analysis of the lipid A showed that LpxXL is involved in the transfer of the C
26 :25OH VLCFA to the lipid A but not in the one of the C30:29OH VLCFA which harbors the hopanoid molecule. Despite maintaining the second VLCFA, the ability of the mutant to cope with various stresses (low pH, high temperature, high osmolarity, and antimicrobial peptides) and to establish an efficient nitrogen-fixing symbiosis was drastically reduced. In parallel, we investigated whether the BRADO0045 gene, which encodes a putative acyltransferase displaying a weak identity with the apo-lipoprotein N -acyltransferase Lnt, could be involved in the transfer of the C30 :29OH VLCFA to the lipid A. Although the mutant exhibited phenotypes similar to the lpxXL mutant, no difference in the lipid A structure was observed from that in the wild-type strain, indicating that this gene is not involved in the modification of lipid A. Our results advance our knowledge of the biosynthesis pathway and the role of VLCFAs-modified lipid A in free-living and symbiotic states of Bradyrhizobium strains.- Published
