This work was conducted to evaluate the phenotypic and phylogenetic diversity of 48
rhizobial strains. All rhizobial strains exhibited a broad tolerance to salinity and pH. In …

Medicago sativa, a perennial species of the genus Medicago, is particularly cultivated in the
Tunisian oases. Three M. sativa cultivated varieties (Magali A, Gabès2355, ABT805) and 1 …

Nitrogen fixing rhizobia associated with the Medicago L. genus belong to two closely related
species Sinorhizobium medicae and S. meliloti. To investigate the symbiotic requirements of …

Several phenotypic tests were used in this study to determine the biodiversity of rhizobial
strains nodulating Medicago ciliaris L. Phenotypic characteristics of thirty-seven rhizobia …

Twenty four rhizobial strains were isolated from root nodules of Melilotus, Medicago and
Trigonella plants growing wild in soils throughout Egypt. The nearly complete 16S rRNA …

Phenotypic characteristics of 37 rhizobia strains isolated from root nodules of Medicago
ciliaris L. growing in soils collected from Zerizer (North Eastern Algeria) were studied …

A collection of 299 isolates of rhizobia nodulating Medicago truncatula was isolated from 10
Tunisian soils and was characterized by restriction fragment length polymorphism analysis …

Polyphasic characterization of 61 bacteria isolated from root nodules of Medicago arborea
(Medic tree) plants growing in 4 arid soils of the arid eastern area of Morocco was studied …

Aims: In the framework of agro‐pastoral system management using local annual medics
coupled with their native root‐nodulating bacteria to extend pasture zones, increase forage …

We studied symbiosis of Medicago ciliaris and Medicago polymorpha, two legumes of
forage and ecological importance in Algeria, especially in saline soil regions. We report the …
