Abstract

Phage MudIIPR13 insertional mutagenesis of Erwinia amylovora CFBP1430 allowed us to isolate 6900 independent CmR mutants. The frequencies of different auxotrophs in this population indicated that MudIIPR13 had inserted randomly in E. amylovora. Screening of 3500 CmR mutants on (i) apple calli and (ii) pear and apple seedlings led to the isolation of 19 non-pathogenic prototrophic single mutants, four of which expressed a LacZ+ hybrid protein. Expression of the fusion proteins was temperature sensitive. The 19 mutants could be separated into two classes according to their behaviour on tobacco: 13 were unable to elicit the hypersensitive response on tobacco (Hrp-) while six still could (Dsp-). The 19 MudIIPR13 insertions all mapped in the same virulence region. The MudIIPR13 insertions of Hrp- mutants were all clustered on the left part of this region, while the MudIIPR13 insertions of Dsp- mutants were located on the right part. All of the mutants except one, which proved to have a large deletion of the entire virulence region, could be complemented functionally by cosmids from an E. amylovora CFBP1430 genomic library. No hybridization was observed between the cosmid pPV130, which complemented 12 hrp::MudIIPR13 mutations, and th...Continue Reading
