Conventional systems used to tag and transfer symbiotic plasmids (pSyms) of rhizobial strains are based in mutagenesis with transposons. In those processes, numerous clones must be analyzed to find one of them with the transposon inserted in the pSym. Following this strategy, the insertion might interrupt a gene that can affect the symbiotic phenotype of the bacteria tagged. Here, we have developed a new system based in homologous recombination that generates Sinorhizobium fredii strains with pSyms tagged by the insertion of a suicide vector which harbor a truncated copy of S. fredii HH103 nodZ gene, a mob site, and a kanamycin-resistant gene. When it is introduced by conjugation in a S. fredii strain, the vector integrates in pSym by only one recombination event. This pSym tagged can be transferred in matting experiments to other strains in the presence of a helper plasmid. Following this method, we have tagged several strains and transferred their pSyms to a recipient strain demonstrating the potential of this new system.
