Investigations were made into the utility of DNA hybridization in conjunction with a microdilution most-probable-number procedure for the enumeration of Rhizobium spp. and Pseudomonas putida in soil. Isolates of Rhizobium spp. and P. putida carrying the transposon Tn5 were added to sterile and nonsterile Burbank sandy loam soil and enumerated over time. Soil populations of rhizobia were enumerated by colony hybridization, most-probable-number-DNA hybridization procedure, plate counts, plant infectivity most probable number, and fluorescent antibody counts. Population values compared well for all methods at 5 and 30 days after the addition of cells, although the fluorescent antibody method tended to overestimate the viable population. In nonsterile soil, most-probable-number-DNA hybridization procedure enumerated as few as 10 P. putida Tn5 cells g of soil-1 and 100 R. leguminosarum bv. phaseoli Tn5 cells g of soil-1 and should have utility for following the fate of genetically engineered microorganisms released to the environment. Among the Kmr isolates containing Tn5, approximately 5% gave a dark, more intense autoradiograph when probed with 32P-labeled pGS9 DNA, which facilitated their detection in soil. Hybridization with a pCU101 probe (pGS9 without Tn5) indicated that donor plasmid sequences were being maintained in the bacterial chromosome. Transposon-associated antibiotic resistance was also utilized as a phenotypic marker. Tn5 vector-integrate mutants were successfully enumerated at low populations (10 to 100 cells g of soil-1) in soil by both phenotypic (Kmr) and genotypic (DNA probe) analysis. However, determination of the stability of Tn5 or Tn5 and vector sequences in the bacteria is necessary.
