Confirming Presence and Mobilization of Partner Quality Genes in Sinorhizobium meliloti

Mutualism is an interaction in which two organisms benefit from each other. The symbiotic relationship between the bacterium Sinorhizobium meliloti and the plant Medicago truncatula is dictated by the bacterial plasmids. The Heath lab has a collection of 191 Sinorhizobium meliloti strains with different symbiotic plasmids that vary across populations (Riley et al., 2022). Each strain can be a better or worse partner for its plant host in symbiosis with the variation in fitness being called partner quality (Fig. 1) These traits can be traced back to the genetic elements that underlie this effect (Batstone et al., These genetic elements can be found in gene clusters that are gained or loss across strains (Fig. 1; Riaz, Sosa Marquez, in prep.). We need assurances of these important and variable clusters presence to understand their mechanism of gene movemen
