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 …

Bacteria and fungi of the plant microbiota can be phytopathogens, parasites or symbionts
that establish mutually advantageous relationships with plants. They are often rich in …

Whole genome analysis of the Bradyrhizobium genus using average nucleotide identity
(ANI) and phylogenomics showed the genus to be essentially monophyletic with seven …

Microplastic pollution in terrestrial ecosystems is a growing concern due to its potential
influences on soil properties and crop growth. Little is known about the effects of …

In prokaryotic taxonomy, a set of criteria is commonly used to delineate species. These
criteria are generally based on cohesion at the phylogenetic, phenotypic and genomic …

The alphaproteobacterial genus Bradyrhizobium has been best known as N2-fixing
members that nodulate legumes, supported by the nif and nod gene clusters. Recent …

The establishment of the rhizobium-legume symbiosis is generally based on plant
perception of Nod factors (NFs) synthesized by the bacteria. However, some Bradyrhizobium …

Three bacterial strains isolated from a sediment sample collected at a water depth of 4 m
from the Huaihe River in China were characterized. Phylogenetic investigation of the 16S …

Bradyrhizobia are common members of soil microbiomes and known as N2‐fixing symbionts
of economically important legumes. Many are also denitrifiers, which can act as sinks or …

A genealogical concordance approach was used to delineate strains isolated from Acacia
dealbata and Acacia mearnsii root nodules in South Africa. These isolates form part of …
