The need for sustainable agricultural practices is revitalizing the interest in biological
nitrogen fixation and rhizobia-legumes symbioses, particularly those involving economically …

Legume specificity is encoded in rhizobial genetic elements that may be transferred among
species and genera. Dissemination (by lateral transfer) of gene assemblies dictating host …

There is a need for easy, practical, reliable and robust techniques for the identification and
classification of bacterial isolates to the species level as alternatives to 16S rRNA gene …

抄録 As of February 2003, bacteria that form nitrogen-fixing symbiotic associations with
legumes have been confirmed in 44 species of 12 genera. Phylogenies of these taxa …

The symbiotic relationship between legumes and nitrogen fixing bacteria is critical for
agriculture, as it may have profound impacts on lowering costs for farmers, on land …

DnaK is the 70 kDa chaperone that prevents protein aggregation and supports the refolding
of damaged proteins. Due to sequence conservation and its ubiquity this chaperone has …

We investigated the diversity of rhizobia isolated from different indigenous legumes in
Flanders (Belgium). A total of 3810 bacterial strains were analysed originating from 43 plant …

La fijación biológica del nitrógeno (diazotrofía) es un proceso muy antiguo que
probablemente se originó en el Eon arqueano bajo las condiciones anoxigénicas de la …

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 …

Chickpea rhizobia isolated from Portuguese soils were assigned to the genus
Mesorhizobium by 16S-rDNA sequencing. High species diversity was found within …
