Rhizobium etli possesses 2 regulatory cascades containing nitrogen-fixing genes. What are they? ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object]

rpoN is found in a wide variety of microorganisms. Describe the examples given in the paper. ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object]

What do the authors of this paper hypothesize? ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],http://www.science.uwaterloo.ca/~tcharles/rhizobium.html

What originally led the authors to suspect that there may be a 2 nd rpoN gene? ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],Map of region containing rpoN2 gene (Fig. 1)

What phenotypic defects were observed when rpoN1 and rpoN2 were inactivated? ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object]

Why do the authors think that rpoN2 may have been acquired via lateral gene transfer (as opposed to gene duplication)? ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],http://www.ambassadors.net/archives/issue8/symposium_select.htm

Why was media containing ammonium, nitrate and alanine used (testing under aerobic & microaerobic conditions)? What happened when glutamine and mannitol were used in the media? ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object]

How did the mutations affect nodulation in P. vulgaris ? How did they impact the ability to fix nitrogen? Are both of these genes necessary for nitrogen fixation? ,[object Object],[object Object]

How did the authors know that the absence of transcription of the rpoN2 gene were not responsible for the observed phenotypes of FAJ1173? ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object]

Why did the authors test for the production of melanin? What does rpoN have to do with the production of melanin? Is rpoN1 necessary for melanin synthesis? rpoN2 ? ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object]

The authors stated that rpoN1 and rpoN2 are active under different physiological conditions. Are these observations explained by the differential expression of both genes? ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object]

What was concluded about the expression patterns of rpoN2 with relation to orf180 ? ,[object Object]

According to the authors, no active RpoN2 protein is formed under free-living aerobic or microaerobic conditions in the rpoN1 mutant. How did they know this? How could RpoN2 protein facilitate turning off the rpoN1 gene during symbiosis? ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object]
