This paper presents a deep analysis of the accessory genome of an economically promising
strain of Ensifer (Sinorhizobium) meliloti, L6-AK89, obtained as a result of next-generation …

The symbiotic, nitrogen-fixing bacterium Sinorhizobium meliloti has been widely studied due
to its ability to improve crop yields through direct interactions with leguminous plants. S …

The inoculation of legume seeds with Sinorhizobium bacteria significantly improves pasture
production. Here, we report the draft genome sequence of symbiotically efficient and salt …

Genomic variation between the Sinorhizobium meliloti model strain Rm1021 and the field
isolate SM11 was assessed by using the genome-wide S. meliloti Rm1021 Sm6k …

The growth and persistence of alfalfa (Medicago sativa), a perennial legume capable of
producing high yields of high-quality forage, is reduced in moderately acidic soils. The low …

Isolates of the symbiotic nitrogen-fixing species Sinorhizobium meliloti usually contain a
chromosome and two large megaplasmids encoding functions that are absolutely required …

Background Sinorhizobium meliloti is a model system for the studies of symbiotic nitrogen
fixation. An extensive polymorphism at the genetic and phenotypic level is present in natural …

Here, we report an improved and complete genome sequence of Sinorhizobium (Ensifer)
meliloti strain WSM1022, a microsymbiont of Medicago species, revealing its tripartite …

Despite the vast screening for natural nitrogen-fixing isolates by public and private consortia,
no significant progresses in the production of improved nitrogen-fixing inoculants for alfalfa …

Ensifer (syn. Sinorhizobium) meliloti U143 is an effective nitrogen-fixing strain isolated from
Uruguayan soils. For decades, this strain has been used as an inoculant for different alfalfa …
