Most species in the Leguminosae (legume family) can fix atmospheric nitrogen (N2) via
symbiotic bacteria (rhizobia) in root nodules. Here, the literature on legume-rhizobia …

Contents Summary 40 I. Introduction 40 II. Recent changes in the taxonomy of legume
genera 41 III. Latitudinal variations in the distribution of nodulated legumes 44 IV …

Bacterial accessory genes are genomic symbionts with an evolutionary history and future
that is different from that of their hosts. Packages of accessory genes move from strain to …

Nitrogen‐fixing symbiosis is globally important in ecosystem functioning and agriculture, yet
the evolutionary history of nodulation remains the focus of considerable debate. Recent …

The symbiosis between plants and nitrogen‐fixing bacteria is widespread among legumes
and actinorhizal plants within the nitrogen‐fixing root nodule (NFN) clade. However, there …

Rhizobial diversity and host preferences were assessed in 65 native Fynbos legumes of the
papilionoid legume tribes Astragaleae, Crotalarieae, Genisteae, Indigofereae, Millettieae …

A century after the discovery of rhizobia, the first Beta-proteobacteria species (beta-rhizobia)
were isolated from legume nodules in South Africa and South America. Since then …

Archaea are widespread in marine sediments, but their occurrence and relationship with
natural salinity gradients in estuarine sediments is not well understood. This study …

Background and aims To evaluate the influence of soil type on the symbiosis between
Mimosa spp. and rhizobia. Methods A greenhouse experiment was carried out with trap …

The genus Burkholderia is a large group of species of bacteria that inhabit a wide range of
environments. We previously recommended, based on multilocus sequence analysis, that …
