Genophore homologies among compatible nocardiae.

J E Clark, G H Brownell

    Journal of Bacteriology
    |February 1, 1972
    PubMed
    Summary

    DNA reassociation studies reveal extensive molecular homology between Nocardia erythropolis mating strains, suggesting unique nucleotide sequences in recombinants. These findings clarify genetic relationships within recombinable nocardiae.

    Area of Science:

    • Microbiology
    • Molecular Biology
    • Genetics

    Background:

    • Nocardiae are aerobic actinomycetes with complex genetic systems.
    • Understanding molecular relationships is crucial for bacterial classification and genetic studies.
    • Previous studies hinted at genetic exchange but lacked detailed molecular evidence.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To determine the molecular relatedness between recombinable Nocardia strains using DNA reassociation.
    • To investigate the genetic basis of the compatibility system in Nocardia erythropolis.
    • To identify unique genetic elements potentially responsible for recombination patterns.

    Main Methods:

    • DNA reassociation kinetics were used to quantify genomic homology.
    • Radioactively labeled DNA was hybridized with filter-bound DNA from different Nocardia strains.
    • Experiments were conducted under both exacting and nonexacting incubation conditions.

    Main Results:

    • Nocardia erythropolis mating strains (Mat-Ce and Mat-cE) showed extensive DNA homology.
    • Asymmetrical reassociation (60%) suggested the presence of unique sequences in one strain.
    • Nocardia restrictus and Nocardia globerula exhibited low DNA relatedness to the N. erythropolis strains.

    Conclusions:

    • Extensive homology exists between N. erythropolis mating strains, indicating a close molecular relationship.
    • Unique nucleotide sequences are present in the N. erythropolis genome, likely influencing recombination.
    • Recombinants inherit specific genomic portions, including unique sequences, from parental strains.
