Rhizobia are bacteria that form nitrogen-fixing nodules in legume plants. The sets of genes
responsible for both nodulation and nitrogen fixation are carried in plasmids or genomic …

Bacteria currently included in Rhizobium leguminosarum are too diverse to be considered a
single species, so we can refer to this as a species complex (the Rlc). We have found 429 …

Nitrogen (N) deficiency in mining-contaminated habitats usually hinders plant growth and
thus hampers tailing revegetation. Biological N fixation (BNF) is an essential …

Genomic evidence indicates that the Rhizobium leguminosarum species complex comprises
multiple distinct species, perhaps 18 or more. Of the five earliest genospecies (gs) to be …

Traditionally, the term 'rhizobia'refers to a special group of soil bacteria that can induce root
and/or stem nodules on legume plants and reduce dinitrogen (N2) into ammonia (NH3) …

Four rhizobia-like strains, isolated from root nodules of Pisum sativum and Vicia faba grown
in Anhui and Jiangxi Provinces of China, were grouped into the genus Rhizobium but were …

Abstract Phaseolus vulgaris (L.), commonly known as bean or common bean, is considered
a promiscuous legume host since it forms nodules with diverse rhizobial species and …

Legume nodules harbour two types of bacteria, the rhizobia, responsible for their formation,
and other endophytic bacteria whose role in the nodule is still poorly known. These bacteria …

In present study, we report our extensive survey on the diversity and biogeography of
rhizobia associated with Sophora flavescens, a sophocarpidine (matrine)-containing …

Bacteria forming nitrogen-fixing symbiosis with legumes, classically named rhizobia,
currently include more than 100 species distributed in the old genera Allorhizobium …
