Due to the high incidence of spontaneous antibiotic resistance and slow growth ofBradyrhizobium japonicumstrains, screening for site-directed mutants is cumbersome and time-consuming. A rapid method for selection of recombinant site-directed mutants ofB. japonicumwas developed. A kanamycin (Km) and a spectinomycin (Sp) cassette were each used to replace DNA fragments in the chromosome by homologous recombination. The primary new features of this method involve a simple plate selection for the antibiotic (Km or Sp) resistant mutants, then colony streaking, and lysis for DNA hybridization on a nitrocellulose filter enabling direct identification of the recombinant site-directed mutants. This method has permitted us to quickly and easily identify a large number of positive recombinant mutants from a large number of indicidual colonies. The procedure eliminates the need to first isolate genomic DNA from each mutant for Southern hybridization. All of the tested site-directed mutants from this method were confirmed to exhibit the expected mutant phenotype.
