Farrand et al.[Int J Syst Evol Microbiol 53 (2003), 1681–1687] have presented a critique of
the proposal of Young et al.[Int J Syst Evol Microbiol 51 (2001), 89–103] to revise the …

Members of the genus Agrobacterium constitute a diverse group of organisms, all of which,
when harbouring the appropriate plasmids, are capable of causing neoplastic growths on …

Abstract The genera Agrobacterium, Allorhizobium, and Rhizobium belong to the family
Rhizobiaceae. However, the placement of a phytopathogenic group of bacteria, the genus …

The alphaproteobacterial family Rhizobiaceae is highly diverse, with 168 species with

The genus Agrobacterium was created a century ago by Conn who included it in the family
Rhizobiaceae together with the genus Rhizobium. Initially, the genus Agrobacterium …

Since the first volume of Bergey's Manual of Systematic Bacteriology was published, in
1984, two additional genera and several new species of stem-and root-nodulating bacteria …

Phylogenomic analyses showed two major superclades within the family Rhizobiaceae that
corresponded to the Rhizobium/Agrobacterium and Shinella/Ensifer groups. Within the …

Since early studies, the history of prokaryotes taxonomy has dealt with many changes driven
by the development of new and more robust technologies. As a result, the number of new …
