RESUMO
We have identified and cloned two DNA regions which are highly reiterated in Bradyrhizobium japonicum serocluster 123 strains. While one of the reiterated DNA regions, pFR2503, is closely linked to the B. japonicum common and genotype-specific nodulation genes in strain USDA 424, the other, pMAP9, is located next to a Tn5 insertion site in a host-range extension mutant of B. japonicum USDA 438. The DNA cloned in pFR2503 and pMAP9 are reiterated 18 to 21 times, respectively, in the genomes of B. japonicum serocluster 123 strains. Gene probes from the reiterated regions share sequence homology, failed to hybridize (or hybridized poorly) to genomic DNA from other B. japonicum and Bradyrhizobium spp. strains, and did not hybridize to DNA from Rhizobium meliloti, Rhizobium fredii, Rhizobium leguminosarum biovars trifolii, phaseoli, and viceae, or Agrobacterium tumefacians. The restriction fragment length polymorphism hybridization profiles obtained by using these gene probes are useful for discriminating among serologically related B. japonicum serocluster 123 strains.
