Two genera of Rhizobiaceae ,wild
strain Agrobacterium tumefaciens (AtMcol)
and standerd strain Agrobacterium tumefaciens (C58C1), in addition to
Sinrhizobium melilti are used in this study. The results showed, these two
strains ofA. tumifaciens bacteria were resistant to Trimetheprim and sensitive
to chloromphinicol while the S.melilti bacteria gave the opposite of these
results,and used as genetic markers for conjugation as one of the methods used
in the technique of Horizontal gene transfer, with the use of acardine orange
to cure the bacteria from plasmid.Two conjugation procces were performed,
between Agrobacterium tumefaciens (AtMcol) and S. melilti, and between
Agrobacterium tumefaciens (C58C1)and S.melilti, result showed succecful of
conjugation procces with conjugation frequency 1.8x10-2 and 2.1x10-2
respectively, and the transconjugant bacteria result from procces succeded in
infecting the root tip of alfalfa seedlings to form root nodules.
Characterization of plasmid DNA content for bacterial isolates belonging to conjugated cells, were
carried out by using agarose gel electrophorsis and the results showed isolate
the presence of discrete clear and isolated band of similar size present in
agaros gel.
