We used <em>A. baldaniorum</em> strain Sp245, its Fla<sup>–</sup> Laf<sup>–</sup> mutant Sp245.1063 (Sp245-<em>flhB1</em>::Omegon-Km), and <em>A. brasilense</em> Sp7. Mutants defective in the <em>flhB2</em> gene were generated by site-directed mutagenesis. Bacterial morphology and motility were characterized by electron and phase-contrast microscopy. An <em>A. baldaniorum</em> Sp245 mutant, Sp245-<em>flhB2</em>::Km, was generated that had a cloned kanamycin resistance gene in the coding sequence (CDS) AZOBR_p410073. In contrast to the Fla<sup>–</sup> Laf<sup>–</sup> mutant Sp245-<em>flhB1</em>::Omegon-Km, the <em>flhB1</em> chromosomal gene of which is inactivated (AZOBR_150177 gene), strain Sp245-<em>flhB2</em>::Km retained the synthesis of a functioning polar flagellum (Fla), but the synthesis and functioning of lateral flagella (Laf) was impaired and the movement and spreading rates of swarming cells in semiliquid agarized media were decreased. Inactivation of the AMK58_26270 plasmid gene in Sp7, which is homologous to the AZOBR_p410073 gene (97% identity), resulted in a similar Laf<sup>–</sup> phenotype in the corresponding mutant. Two putative <em>flhB</em> genes are present in the genome of strains Sp245 and Sp7. These genes are located in the chromosome (<em>flhB1</em>) and on the AZOBR_p4 or ABSP7_p3 plasmid (<em>flhB2</em>), respectively. Expression of the <em>flhB2</em> gene is required for Laf assembly. Transcription of <em>flhB2</em> is regulated by a mechanosignal, the perception and generation of which is ensured by the functioning Fla, apparently with the involvement of the FlhB protein encoded by the <em>flhB1</em> chromosomal gene.</p>","PeriodicalId":19005,"journal":{"name":"Molecular Genetics, Microbiology and Virology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2023-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139463275","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
