| the complete genome of burkholderia phenoliruptrix strain br3459a, a symbiont of mimosa flocculosa: highlighting the coexistence of symbiotic and pathogenic genes. | burkholderia species play an important ecological role related to xenobiosis, the promotion of plant growth, the biocontrol of agricultural diseases, and symbiotic and non-symbiotic biological nitrogen fixation. here, we highlight our study as providing the first complete genome of a symbiotic strain of b. phenoliruptrix, br3459a (=cla1), which was originally isolated in brazil from nodules of mimosa flocculosa and is effective in fixing nitrogen in association with this leguminous species. | 2014 | 24972629 |
