Rhizobium mediterraneum [3]

Mesorhizobium mediterraneum is a bacterium from the genus Mesorhizobium, which was isolated from root nodule of the Chickpea (Cicer arietinum) in Spain. [4] [5] The species Rhizobium mediterraneum was subsequently transferred to Mesorhizobium mediterraneum. [6] This species, along with many other closely related taxa, have been found to promote production of chickpea and other crops worldwide by forming symbiotic relationships.

Symbiosis with Chickpea

As a typical species nodulating the chickpea root, M. mediterraneum forms a mutualistic symbiosis with the legume crop. The associations between M. mediterraneum and its legume hosts have been reported to be mediated by type IV secretion system (T4SS) genes such as traG [7] and improved by the addition of the clpB chaperone gene. [8] The invasion of legume by Mesorhizobium mediterraneum was also documented to involve production of hydrolytic enzymes such as xyloglucanase. [9]

Several isolates of M. mediterraneum enhanced the growth of chickpea by efficiently mobilizing phosphorus from insoluble phosphates. [10] [11] [12] The species could help chickpea increase production and protein content even under a moderate water deficit. [13] However, it has also been reported that nodulation by the species on chickpea was reduced by water deficiency. [14] Dual-inoculation of Glomus mosseae and M. mediterraneum helped Lathyrus sativus resist sulfate salinity stress, [15] while the growth of M.mediterraneum was also found to be intolerant of salt stress of 200 mM NaCl. [16] M. mediterraneum helped chickpea resist osmotic stress by enhancing nodular peroxidase and ascorbate peroxidase activities. [17]

Besides chickpea, Mesorhizobium mediterraneum and/or closely related taxa have also been found to form symbiotic relationships with many other crops and plants, including wild liquorice (Astragalus glycyphyllos), [18] lentil (Lens culinaris Medik), [19] the South African legume species of the genus Lessertia, [20] black locust (Robinia pseudoacacia), [21] Lotus tenuis, [22] Caragana, [23] and Astragalus cicer. [24]

Mesorhizobium mediterraneum, along with many other species, contributed to diverse rhizobia nodulating chickpea worldwide, such as Northeast China, [25] [26] [27] India, [28] [29] the North-West Indo Gangetic Plains, [30] Ethiopia, [31] Iran, [32] and Portugal. [33] [34] These findings contribute to valuable pools of isolates that hold promises for increasing chickpea production in these soil types.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Chickpea</span> Species of flowering plant with edible seeds in the family Fabaceae

The chickpea or chick pea is an annual legume of the family Fabaceae, subfamily Faboideae. Its different types are variously known as gram or Bengal gram, chhana, chana, or channa, garbanzo or garbanzo bean, or Egyptian pea. Chickpea seeds are high in protein. It is one of the earliest cultivated legumes, and 9,500-year-old remains have been found in the Middle East.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Rhizobia</span> Nitrogen fixing soil bacteria

Rhizobia are diazotrophic bacteria that fix nitrogen after becoming established inside the root nodules of legumes (Fabaceae). To express genes for nitrogen fixation, rhizobia require a plant host; they cannot independently fix nitrogen. In general, they are gram negative, motile, non-sporulating rods.

<i>Rhizobium</i> Genus of nitrogen-fixing bacteria

Rhizobium is a genus of Gram-negative soil bacteria that fix nitrogen. Rhizobium species form an endosymbiotic nitrogen-fixing association with roots of (primarily) legumes and other flowering plants.

Diazotrophs are bacteria and archaea that fix gaseous nitrogen in the atmosphere into a more usable form such as ammonia.

<i>Ensifer meliloti</i> Species of bacterium

Ensifer meliloti are an aerobic, Gram-negative, and diazotrophic species of bacteria. S. meliloti are motile and possess a cluster of peritrichous flagella. S. meliloti fix atmospheric nitrogen into ammonia for their legume symbionts, such as alfalfa. S. meliloti forms a symbiotic relationship with legumes from the genera Medicago, Melilotus and Trigonella, including the model legume Medicago truncatula. This symbiosis promotes the development of a plant organ, termed a root nodule. Because soil often contains a limited amount of nitrogen for plant use, the symbiotic relationship between S. meliloti and their legume hosts has agricultural applications. These techniques reduce the need for inorganic nitrogenous fertilizers.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Nod factor</span> Signaling molecule

Nod factors, are signaling molecules produced by soil bacteria known as rhizobia in response to flavonoid exudation from plants under nitrogen limited conditions. Nod factors initiate the establishment of a symbiotic relationship between legumes and rhizobia by inducing nodulation. Nod factors produce the differentiation of plant tissue in root hairs into nodules where the bacteria reside and are able to fix nitrogen from the atmosphere for the plant in exchange for photosynthates and the appropriate environment for nitrogen fixation. One of the most important features provided by the plant in this symbiosis is the production of leghemoglobin, which maintains the oxygen concentration low and prevents the inhibition of nitrogenase activity.

<i>Bradyrhizobium</i> Genus of bacteria

Bradyrhizobium is a genus of Gram-negative soil bacteria, many of which fix nitrogen. Nitrogen fixation is an important part of the nitrogen cycle. Plants cannot use atmospheric nitrogen (N2); they must use nitrogen compounds such as nitrates.

Ensifer is a genus of nitrogen-fixing bacteria (rhizobia), three of which have been sequenced.
