The class Alphaproteobacteria is comprised of a diverse assemblage of Gram-negative
bacteria that includes organisms of varying morphologies, physiologies and habitat …

The Rhizobia are collectively comprised of gram negative soil bacteria that have the ability
to form symbiotic nitrogen-fixing root and/or stem nodules in association with leguminous …

The symbiosis between Lotus and rhizobia has been long considered very specific and only
two bacterial species were recognized as the microsymbionts of Lotus: Mesorhizobium loti …

Mesorhizobium contains species widely known as nitrogen-fixing bacteria with legumes, but
their ability to promote the growth of non-legumes has been poorly studied. Here, we …

Legume nodules harbour two types of bacteria, the rhizobia, responsible for their formation,
and other endophytic bacteria whose role in the nodule is still poorly known. These bacteria …

Bacteria forming nitrogen-fixing symbiosis with legumes, classically named rhizobia,
currently include more than 100 species distributed in the old genera Allorhizobium …

In this work we revise the taxonomic status of the Lotus-nodulating strains MAFF 303099T
and R7A isolated in Japan and New Zealand, respectively. Their 16S rRNA gene …

Professor Esperanza Martinez-Romero resigned as the chairperson of the subcommittee;
the subcommittee is grateful to her for the many years since the 1990s that she held this …

A collection of rhizobial strains isolated from root nodules of the narrowly endemic legume
species Oxytropis erecta, O. anadyrensis, O. kamtschatica, and O. pumilio originating from …

Mesorhizobium is a genus of soil bacteria, some isolates of which form an endosymbiotic
relationship with diverse legumes of the Loteae tribe. The symbiotic genes of these …
