| a new species of devosia that forms a unique nitrogen-fixing root-nodule symbiosis with the aquatic legume neptunia natans (l.f.) druce. | rhizobia are the common bacterial symbionts that form nitrogen-fixing root nodules in legumes. however, recently other bacteria have been shown to nodulate and fix nitrogen symbiotically with these plants. neptunia natans is an aquatic legume indigenous to tropical and subtropical regions and in african soils is nodulated by allorhizobium undicola. this legume develops an unusual root-nodule symbiosis on floating stems in aquatic environments through a unique infection process. here, we analyzed ... | 2002 | 12406707 |
| description of devosia neptuniae sp. nov. that nodulates and fixes nitrogen in symbiosis with neptunia natans, an aquatic legume from india. | neptunia natans is a unique aquatic legume indigenous to tropical and sub-tropical regions and is nodulated symbiotically by rhizobia using an unusual infection process unlike any previously described. previously, isolates of neptunia-nodulating rhizobia from senegal were characterized as allorhizobium undicola. here we report on a different group of neptunia-nodulating rhizobia isolated from india. sequencing of the 16s rdna gene from two of these indian isolates (strains j1t and j2) show that ... | 2003 | 12747409 |
| changing concepts in the systematics of bacterial nitrogen-fixing legume symbionts. | 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 containing legume symbionts based on the comparative analysis of 16s rdna sequences show that they are not clustered in one lineage but are distributed in the classes alphaproteobacteria and betaproteobacteria, and dispersed over the following nine monophyletic groups, being intermingled with other taxa that do not contain legume sy ... | 2003 | 12949698 |

| thirteen novel deoxynivalenol-degrading bacteria are classified within two genera with distinct degradation mechanisms. | the mycotoxin deoxynivalenol (don), a secondary metabolite produced by species of the plant pathogen fusarium, causes serious problems in cereal crop production because of its toxicity towards humans and livestock. a biological approach for the degradation of don using a don-degrading bacterium (ddb) appears to be promising, although information about ddbs is limited. we isolated 13 aerobic ddbs from a variety of environmental samples, including field soils and wheat leaves. of these 13 strains, ... | 2011 | 22098388 |
| biodiversity characterization of cellulolytic bacteria present on native chaco soil by comparison of ribosomal rna genes. | sequence analysis of the 16s ribosomal rna gene was used to study bacterial diversity of a pristine forest soil and of two cultures of the same soil enriched with cellulolytic bacteria. our analysis revealed high bacterial diversity in the native soil sample, evidencing at least 10 phyla, in which actinobacteria, proteobacteria and acidobacteria accounted for more than 76% of all sequences. in both enriched samples, members of proteobacteria were the most frequently represented. the majority of ... | 2011 | 22202170 |
| genetic characterization of root-nodule bacteria associated with acacia salicina and a. stenophylla (mimosaceae) across south-eastern australia. | symbiotic relationships between legumes and nitrogen-fixing soil micro-organisms are of ecological importance in plant communities worldwide. for example, nutrient-poor australian soils are often dominated by shrubby legumes (e.g. species of acacia). however, relatively few studies have quantified patterns of diversity, host-specificity and effectiveness of these ecologically important plant-microbe interactions. in this study, 16s rrna gene sequence and pcr-rflp analyses were used to examine ba ... | 2011 | 20228207 |
