| symbiotic diversity of ensifer meliloti strains recovered from various legume species in tunisia. | ensifer meliloti (formerly sinorhizobium meliloti) was first considered as a specific microsymbiont of medicago, melilotus and trigonella. however, strains of e. meliloti were recovered from root nodules of various legume species and their symbiotic status still remains unclear. here, we further investigate the specificity of these strains. a collection of 47 e. meliloti strains isolated in tunisia from root nodules of medicago truncatula, medicago sativa, medicago ciliaris, medicago laciniata, ... | 2009 | 19665858 |
| rhizobial strains isolated from nodules of medicago marina in southwest spain are abiotic-stress tolerant and symbiotically diverse. | the isolation and characterisation of nitrogen-fixing root nodule bacteria from medicago marina, a tolerant legume species, were studied in two areas from southwest spain. a total of 30 out of 82 isolates with distinct eric-pcr fingerprints were analysed on the basis of molecular (pcr-rflp of the 16s-23s rdna intergenic spacer region (igs) with two endonucleases, analysis of the 16s rdna and symbiotic nodc gene sequences, plasmid profiles and sds-page of lps, including the partial sequence of th ... | 2015 | 26299372 |
| assessing genotypic diversity and symbiotic efficiency of five rhizobial legume interactions under cadmium stress for soil phytoremediation. | in the framework of soil phytoremediation using local legume plants coupled with their native root-nodulating bacteria to increase forage yields and preserve contaminated soils in arid regions of tunisia, we investigated the diversity of bacteria from root nodules of lathyrus sativus, lens culinaris, medicago marina, m. truncatula, and m. minima and the symbiotic efficiency of these five legume symbiosis under cadmium stress. fifty bacterial strains were characterized using physiological and bio ... | 2013 | 23819287 |
