The incompatibility (Inc) P-7 group plasmid pCAR1 can be efficiently transferred among bacteria in artificial microcosms in the presence of divalent cations Ca2+and Mg2+. One-on-one mating assays betweenPseudomonasstrains with different plasmids showed that the promotion of conjugation efficiency by divalent cations was exhibited in other plasmids, including pB10 and NAH7; however, this effect was larger in IncP-7 plasmids. The impact on pCAR1 conjugation differed according to donor–recipient pairs, and conjugation efficiency promotion was clearly detected between the donorsP. resinovoransCA10dm4 andP.fluorescensPf0-1 and the recipientsP. putidaKT2440 and CA10dm4. Transcriptome analyses showed that pCAR1 gene expression did not respond to cation changes, including thetra/trhgenes involved in its transfer. However, the transcription ofoprHgenes, encoding putative outer-membrane proteins in both the donor and the recipient, were commonly upregulated under cation-limited conditions. The conjugation frequency of pCAR1 in the KT2440oprHmutant was found not to respond to cations. This effect was partially recovered by complementation with theoprHgene, suggesting that OprH is involved in the increase of pCAR1 conjugation efficiency by divalent cations.
