A collection of strains isolated from root nodules of Acacia species in Senegal was analysed previously by electrophoresis of total cell protein, auxanographic tests, rRNA-DNA hydridization, 16S rRNA gene sequencing, DNA base composition and DNA-DNA hybridization [de Lajudie, P., Willems, A., Pot, B. & 7 other authors (1994). Int J Syst Bacteriol 44, 715-733]. Strains from Acacia were shown to belong to two groups, Sinorhizobium terangae, and a so-called gel electrophoretic cluster U, which…

Characterization of rhizobia that nodulate legume species of the genus Lespedeza and description of Bradyrhizobium yuanmingense sp. nov.

Legume species belonging to the genus Lespedeza are annual or perennial herb or shrub plants that grow in the northern hemisphere. They are known for the formation of root nodules, but little…

Polyphasic characterization of rhizobia that nodulate Phaseolus vulgaris in West Africa (Senegal and Gambia).

A polyphasic approach including both phenotypic and genotypic techniques was used to study the diversity of the 58 Rhizobium isolates and to determine their taxonomic relationships with reference strains, finding that group II strains showed several related electrophoretic types, evidencing some extent of internal heterogeneity among them.

Mesorhizobium shangrilense sp. nov., isolated from root nodules of Caragana species.

Polyphasic taxonomic methods including SDS-PAGE of whole-cell soluble proteins, comparative housekeeping sequence analysis of atpD, glnII and recA, fatty acid profiles and a series of phenotypic and physiological tests allowed to cluster the five strains into a coherent group while differentiating them from all previously established Mesorhizobium species.

Rhizobium vignae sp. nov., a symbiotic bacterium isolated from multiple legume species.

A group of rhizobial strains isolated from nodules of multiple legume species grown in different geographical regions of China had identical 16S rRNA genes and were suggested to represent a novel species for which the name Rhizobium vignae sp.

Sinorhizobium arboris sp. nov. and Sinorhizobium kostiense sp. nov., isolated from leguminous trees in Sudan and Kenya.

SDS-PAGE of total bacterial proteins was applied to the classification of 25 Sudanese and five Kenyan strains isolated from the root nodules of Acacia senegal and Prosopis chilensis and showed that all 30 strains belong to the genus Sinorhizobium, and it is proposed that these strains should be classified as two new species.

Diversity of rhizobia associated with Amorpha fruticosa isolated from Chinese soils and description of Mesorhizobium amorphae sp. nov.

A new species, Mesorhizobium amorphae, is proposed for the majority of the isolates, which belonged to a moderately slow- to slow-growing, acid-producing group based upon their distinct phylogenetic position, their unique electrophoretic type, their low DNA homology, and their distinct phenotypic features.

Allorhizobium undicola gen. nov., sp. nov., nitrogen-fixing bacteria that efficiently nodulate Neptunia natans in Senegal.

A group of nodule isolates from Neptunia natans, an indigenous stemnodulated tropical legume found in waterlogged areas of Senegal, was studied and it was demonstrated that this group is phenotypically and phylogenetically separate from the known species.

Phenotypic and genotypic diversity of rhizobia nodulating Pterocarpus erinaceus and P. lucens in Senegal.

No clear relation was found between the diversity of strains, the host plants and the ecogeographical origins and the 16S rDNA and IGS sequences analysis showed accurately the differentiation of fast growing rhizobia among the Rhizobium and Mesorbizobia genospecies.

Mesorhizobium chacoense sp. nov., a novel species that nodulates Prosopis alba in the Chaco Arido region (Argentina).

Results of the genotypic and phenotypic characterization showed that the strains isolated in this study belong to a group that clustered in the genus Mesorhizobium, and the results of DNA-DNA hybridizations showed that this group is a novel species of this genus.

Mesorhizobium septentrionale sp. nov. and Mesorhizobium temperatum sp. nov., isolated from Astragalus adsurgens growing in the northern regions of China.

Host range studies indicate that the different nodA sequences correlate with different host ranges, and further comparative studies with the defined Agrobacterium species are needed to clarify the taxonomic identity of candidate species III.

Two of the clusters identified on the basis of SDS-PAGE data are genotypically and phenotypically distinct groups that belong on the Rhizobium meliloti-RhZobium fredii rRNA branch and contains strains isolated in Africa, in Brazil, and in New Zealand from different leguminous species.

The taxonomic status of 16 collection strains of chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) rhizobia were compared with reference strains belonging to different genera and species of the family Rhizobiaceae and it was confirmed that therhizobia that nodulate chickpeas cannot be assigned to a previously described species.

It is proposed that genomic species 2 isolates belong to a new species, Sinorhizobium medicae, which was established through the results of phenotypic tests and 16S rRNA phylogenetic inferences.

It is proposed that strains belonging to genomic species 2 should be classified in a new species, Rhizobium mediterraneum, and that strain UPM-Ca36 should be the type strain.

Reclassification of American Rhizobium leguminosarum biovar phaseoli type I strains as Rhizobium etli sp. nov.

A new Rhizobium species that nodulates Phaseolus vulgaris L. nov. is proposed on the basis of a sequence analysis of 16S ribosomal DNA, characterized by the capacity to establish an effective symbiosis with bean plants, the reiteration of the nitrogenase structural genes, and the organization of the common nodulation genes into two separate transcriptional units.

Four unnamed species of nonsymbiotic rhizobia isolated from the rhizosphere of Lotus corniculatus

The results support the proposal that nonsymbiotic rhizobia persist in soils in the absence of legumes and acquire symbiotic genes from inoculant strains upon introduction of host legumes.

Diversity and phylogeny of rhizobia

It seems likely that the ability to form legume nodules was not present in the common ancestor of all rhizobia but that the nodulation genes were transferred between phylogenetically distinct bacteria, so that the phylogeny of nodulations genes will probably differ from that of the bacteria that carry them.
