Ten rhizobial strains were isolated from root nodules of a relict legume Oxytropis popoviana
Peschkova. For identification of the isolates, sequencing of rrs, the internal transcribed …

Nodulation of common bean was explored in six oases in the south of Tunisia. Nineteen
isolates were characterized by PCR–RFLP of 16S rDNA. Three species of rhizobia were …

Common bean is a poor symbiotic N-fixer, with a low response to inoculation owing to its
promiscuous nodulation with competitive but inefficient resident rhizobia. Consequently …

Phaseolus vulgaris (common bean) was introduced to Kenya several centuries ago but the
rhizobia that nodulate it in the country remain poorly characterised. To address this gap in …

The nitrogen‐fixing symbiosis between Rhizobium leguminosarum and host legumes is
recognized as a key part of sustainable agriculture. A culture collection containing rhizobia …

Semi-selective enrichment, followed by PCR screening, resulted in the successful direct
isolation of fast-growing Rhizobia from a dryland agricultural soil. Over 50% of these isolates …

Background Rhizobia are alpha-proteobacteria commonly found in soil and root nodules of
legumes. It was recently reported that nitrogen-fixing rhizobia also inhabit legume seeds. In …

The diversity and phylogeny of root-nodule bacteria isolated from common bean grown in
Mozambique and different provinces of South Africa was studied by restriction fragment …

One hundred isolates were trapped by soybean (Glycine max) plants inoculated with a soil
from the Cerrados, the main producing area in Brazil. The soil was originally void of rhizobia …

Twenty-six Rhizobium galegae strains, representing the center of origin of the host plants
Galega orientalis and G. officinalis as well as other geographic regions, were used in a …
