전기영동법에 (電氣泳動法) 의한 대두 근류균 (根瘤均) Rhizobium fredii 와 Bradyrhizobium japonicum 의 분류 및 동정

A method, based upon the separation of cellular proteins by one-and two-dimensional electrophoresis was used for distinguishing butween Bradyrhizobium japonicum strains and Rhizobium fredii strains. Significant differences ir. protein pattern of one-dimensional SDS-PAGE vs-ere observed between Rhizobium fredii strains and Bradyrhizobium japonicum strains. The differences in six distinct main lands were observed among total 52 kinds of protein bands. Furthermore, the distribution of proteins in two groups by two-dimensional polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis was very different. The majority of visible proteins of Rhizobium fredii were acidic, whereas those of Bradyrhizobium japonicum were basic. In addition, amino acid composition was analyzed to detect the differences between two groups. No significant differences in amino acid composition were observed between Bradyrhizobium japonicum strains and Rhizobium fredii strains. The results indicate that one-and two-dimensional polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis were useful for identifying rhizobia isolates. One-dimensional SDS-PAGE of rhizobia proteins provided a rapid method for screening a large number of isolates, whereas two-dimensional electrophoresis was more of resolution and easiness for analyzing protein spots.
