Most species in the Leguminosae (legume family) can fix atmospheric nitrogen (N2) via
symbiotic bacteria (rhizobia) in root nodules. Here, the literature on legume-rhizobia …

Legumes form a large group of plants that constitute the third largest family of angiosperms,
including near 20,000 species and 750 genera. Most of them have the ability to establish …

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

The use of plant growth-promoting microbes may prove useful in developing strategies to
facilitate growth of different crops. The use of microbe formulation with the aim of improving …

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

Symbiotic nitrogen fixation is the main route for sustainable input of nitrogen into
ecosystems. Nitrogen fixation in agriculture can be improved by inoculation of legume crops …

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 …

Cowpea is a legume of great agronomic importance that establishes symbiotic relationships
with nitrogen-fixing bacteria. However, little is known about the genetic and symbiotic …

The genus Bradyrhizobium encompasses a variety of bacteria that can live in symbiotic and
endophytic associations with legumes and non-legumes, and are characterized by …

The classification of rhizobia has been gone through a substantial change in recent years
due to the addition of several new genera and species to this important bacterial group …
