ROBERTSON Applied Biochemistry Division, Department of Scientific and Industrial Research, Palmerston North, New Zealand AND PAMELA LYTTLETON Department of Chemistry, Biochemistry and Biophysics, Massey University, Palmerston North, New Zealand SUMMARY Division of peribacteroid membranes in the cytoplasm of root nodules of white clover was found, from a study of serial thin sections prepared for electron microscopy, to accompany division of the bacteroids. It was also observed that the peribacteroid membranes appeared to have adhered to various sites on the surface of the bacteroid envelope outer membranes. Wherever peribacteroid membranes were constricted as though undergoing division in the region of the cleft formed by partial division of the bacteroids, these constrictions could be related to the point of adhesion of the peribacteroid membranes to the surface of the bacteroids within the cleft. It was concluded that adhesion of the peribacteroid membranes to the bacteroid envelope outer membranes is likely to be a critical element in the process of division of the peribacteroid membranes. Differences in the degree of adhesion between peribacteroid membranes and the bacteroid envelope outer membranes may explain variations in the number of bacteroids enclosed by peribacteroid membranes in nodules of different legumes. INTRODUCTION Release of rhizobia from infection threads into the cytoplasm of legume nodule meristematic cells is considered to involve an endocytotic process in which the bacteria at the tips of the threads become enclosed by the infection thread membranes (Goodchild & Bergersen, 1966; Newcomb, 1981), which thus form the peribacteroid membranes (Robertson, Lyttleton & Tapper, 1983). In soybean nodules, subsequent division of the bacteroids is accompanied by division of the peribacteroid membranes during the early, but not the later, stages of nodule development (Bergersen & Goodchild, 1973; Bergersen, 1974), so forming peribacteroid membranes enclosing several bacteroids. In other legumes, division of the peribacteroid membranes may accompany division of the bacteroids throughout development of the infected nodule cells, thereby giving rise to peribacteroid membranes enclosing predominantly single bacteroids (Dart, 1977). There appear, however, to be no reports regarding possible mechanisms involved in the process of division of these membranes. Such a process may be an important aspect of legume nodule development, in that it enables the bacteroids to be distributed throughout the plant cell (Robertson et al. 1983). The aim of the present study was to determine whether some indication of the nature of this process might be obtained from an examination of serial sections of tissue taken at various stages of nodule development.
2 148 J. G. Robertson and P. Lyttleton MATERIALS AND METHODS Preparation of nodule tissue and electron microscopy Nodules were obtained from white clover (Trifolium repens L. cv. Grasslands Huia) grown in pumice for 35 days following inoculation of germinated seeds with Rhizobium trifolii NZP566 (Boland, Fordyce & Greenwood, 1978). The nodules were processed for electron microscopy as described previously (Robertson & Lyttleton, 1982), with the exception that, in the preparation of some samples, the immersion of tissue in magnesium/uranyl acetate solution following fixation with osmium was omitted. Alternatively, nodules were obtained from seedlings grown on slopes of Jensen's agar for 7 or 17 days following inoculation with R. trifolii strain 7012 and were processed for electron microscopy as described previously (Ronson, Lyttleton & Robertson, 1981). Thin sections cut with a diamond knife were mounted on copper grids without support films and stained at C with saturated uranyl acetate in 50 % ethanol for 5 min, followed by lead citrate (Venable & Coggeshall, 1965) for 3 min. Sections mounted on gold grids without support films were stained for polysaccharides (Thie'ry, 1967; Robertson, Lyttleton, Williamson & Batt, 1975) by floating grids on 1 % periodic acid for 30 min, 0-2 % thiocarbohydrazide in 20 % acetic acid for 22 h, and 1 % silver proteinate for 30 min, with appropriate washing steps between each reagent. Sections were examined with a Philips EM 200 or 201c microscope at 60 kv. RESULTS Three stages of development of white clover nodules, including the zones of infection, early symbiosis and late symbiosis, are illustrated in Figs 1-3.

5 Division of peribacteroid membranes 151 development, the individual bacteroids, as seen in single thin sections, were always surrounded by peribacteroid membranes. Although these membranes were often closely adjacent to each other in the plant cell cytoplasm (Figs 3, 6), they did not show signs of having fused. Bacteroids that appeared to have divided (Fig. 5), or were in a state of partial division (Fig. 4), were commonly seen in thin sections of the early symbiotic zone (Fig. 2). By contrast, peribacteroid membranes possessing ultrastructural characteristics that indicated that they might be in the process of dividing between bacteroids were rarely observed. It appeared, however, that the peribacteroid membranes must have undergone division during multiplication of the bacteroids, since in the early symbiotic zone (Fig. 2) 98 % of the peribacteroid membranes of 470 counted in thin sections contained only a single organism, and in the late symbiotic Figs 7, 8.

8 154 jf. G. Robertson and P. Lyttleton zone (Fig. 3) 96% of 470 peribacteroid membranes counted contained only a single organism. A study of serial sections of nodule tissue confirmed that peribacteroid membranes, apparently enclosing only single organisms when viewed in single thin sections, were in fact not interconnected by junctions of any type (Fig. 7). Very occasionally a study of serial sections of nodule tissue revealed peribacteroid membranes enclosing more than one bacteroid (Fig. 8), although in one section of the series (Fig. 8A) only a single organism was apparent. Where several bacteroids were enclosed they tended to be closely packed together and the peribacteroid membranes were closely associated with large areas of the surfaces of the bacteroids (Fig. 8). A study of the ultrastructure of the peribacteroid membranes enclosing bacteroids at various stages of division revealed that the peribacteroid membranes did not generally follow the contours of the cleft formed at the site of division of the bacteroids (Figs 4, 5). It was observed, however, that at other points over the surface of the bacteroids, the peribacteroid membranes appeared to be closely associated with (Figs 9, 12), and in fact to adhere to (Figs 10, 11) the bacteroid envelope outer membranes. Similar sites of adhesion were observed between the infection thread membrane and the outer surface of the rhizobial envelope in the infection thread at various stages of endocytosis (Fig. 13). Very occasionally, constrictions of the peribacteroid membranes in the region of the clefts formed by the dividing bacteroids were observed in thin sections (Fig. 14). A study of serial sections of bacteroids at various stages of division showed that these constrictions were associated with sites of adhesion of the peribacteroid membranes to the bacteroid envelope outer membranes within the cleft (Fig. 15). DISCUSSION The object of the work reported here was to determine whether any indication could be obtained, from a study of thin sections of legume nodule tissue, of the nature of the process of division of the peribacteroid membranes. It was apparent that adhesion of these membranes to the bacteroid envelope outer membranes is likely to be an important aspect of this process. This conclusion was based on the observation that the peribacteroid membranes appeared to be very closely associated with (Figs 9, 12), and in fact adhering to (Figs 10, 11), the bacteroid envelope outer membrane at various sites over the surfaces of the bacteroids. Where constriction of the peribacteroid membranes was observed within the cleft formed by partial division of the bacteroids, these constrictions were found, in serial thin sections, to be associated with sites of adhesion of the peribacteroid membranes to the bacteroid envelope outer membranes within the clefts (Figs 14, 15). It appears, therefore, that division of the peribacteroid membranes is probably related to the tendency of these membranes to adhere to the bacteroid envelope outer membranes and, as a consequence, to follow the general contour of the surfaces of the individual bacteroids. The mechanism of division of the peribacteroid membranes has not, to our knowledge, been discussed in the literature. However, this process might be regarded as a continuation of the initial process of endocytosis in which the rhizobia at the tips of
9 Division of peribacteroid membranes 155 the infection threads are surrounded by the infection thread membranes and released into the plant cell cytoplasm. During endocytosis, the infection thread membranes appear to be closely associated with the surface of the rhizobial envelope outer membranes (Fig. 13). Previous authors have raised the possibility that this close association may be an important aspect of the endocytotic process (Goodchild & Bergersen, 1966; Kijne, 1975; Newcomb, 1976; Newcomb, Syono & Torrey, 1977; Kijne & Planque\ 1979). It is also evident from published micrographs (Gourret & Fernandez- Arias, 1974; Newcomb, 1976; Newcomb et al. 1977; Bal, Shantharam & Verma, 1980) that peribacteroid membranes occur in close association with, or adhere to, the surface of the bacteroid envelope outer membranes in a variety of legume systems, suggesting that adhesion between these two membranes may be of general importance in the legume-rhizobium symbiosis. It has been widely reported that differences occur in the number of bacteroids enclosed by peribacteroid membranes in nodules of different legumes that have been infected with the same strain of Rhizobium (Dart, 1977; Sutton, Pankhurst & Craig, 1981), and also in particular legumes at different stages of nodule development (Goodchild & Bergersen, 1966). Such differences in the number of enclosed bacteroids might be caused by differences in the degree of adhesion between the peribacteroid membranes and the bacteroid envelope outer membranes in the various systems. Studies of soybean nodules (Goodchild & Bergersen, 1966) do reveal more points of contact between these membranes, where the peribacteroid membranes enclose only single bacteroids at the early stages of nodule development, in comparison to the later stages where several bacteroids are enclosed. Comparison of the soybean (Goodchild & Bergersen, 1966) and white clover (Fig. 8) legume systems highlights the difference in degree of membrane adhesion that occurs where the overall tendency is to enclose several, as opposed to only single, bacteroids. Changes or differences in the number of bacteroids enclosed by peribacteroid membranes in the cytoplasm of legume nodule cells may relate to changes or differences in the composition of the peribacteroid membranes or the bacteroid envelope outer membranes during the process of development of legume root nodules. In this regard it has been reported that the density of the peribacteroid membranes changes during nodule development in lupin (Robertson et al. 1978). Also changes occur in the properties of the rhizobial envelope outer membrane during the transition from the free-living to the bacteroid state in the nodules of several legumes (Bal et al. 1980; Sutton et al. 1981; Bal & Wong, 1982). It is not known whether the observed sites of adhesion between the peribacteroid and infection thread membranes and the rhizobial or bacteroid envelope outer membranes reflect specific interactions between components on the surface of these membranes. Such specificity may, however, be an extremely important aspect of the legume Rhizobium symbiosis. Support for this comes from the observation (Pankhurst, 1974) that the number of bacteroids enclosed by peribacteroid membranes was greater in nodules formed by ineffective mutants of R. trifolli with altered cell wall properties, than in nodules formed by the wild type.
