A Mesorhizobium huakuii strain HN3015 was isolated from Astragalus sinicus in a rice-growing field of Southern China. Strain HN3015 contained three large plasmids. The three indigenous plasmids, named as pMhHN3015a, pMhHN3015b and pMhHN3015c of M. huakuii HN3015, were, respectively, cured by Tn5-sacB insertion. The mutant strain HN3015-1 cured with its largest plasmid pMhHN3015c formed only white null nodules. Mutant HN3015-3 cured with its smallest plasmid pMhHN3015a could form pink effective nodules. However, mutant HN3015-2 cured of the second largest plasmid pMhHN3015b lost nodulation ability. Furthermore, curing of pMhHN3015a had enhanced competitive nodulation ability and symbiotic efficiency of HN3015-3. The results from acidity tolerance assays indicated that the three plasmids in M. huakuii HN3015 had a positive control effect on acidity tolerance of HN3015, and all indigenous plasmids of M. huakuii HN3015 had a negative control effect on the alkali tolerance capacity of HN3015. Surprisingly, all plasmids in M. huakuii HN3015 had also a negative control effect on its growth rate. The results showed an interactive and functional complexity of plasmids in strain HN3015.
