| multilocus sequence analysis of root nodule isolates from lotus arabicus (senegal), lotus creticus, argyrolobium uniflorum and medicago sativa (tunisia) and description of ensifer numidicus sp. nov. and ensifer garamanticus sp. nov. | nine isolates from argyrolobium uniflorum, lotus creticus , medicago sativa (tunisia) and lotus arabicus (senegal) were analysed by multilocus sequence analysis (mlsa) of five housekeeping genes (reca, atpd, glna, glta and thrc), the 16s rrna gene and the nodulation gene noda. analysis of the individual and concatenated gene sequences demonstrated that the nine new strains constituted three stable, well-supported (bootstrap and gene sequence similarity values) monophyletic clusters, a, b and c, ... | 2010 | 19656922 |
| proposal of ensifer psoraleae sp. nov., ensifer sesbaniae sp. nov., ensifer morelense comb. nov. and ensifer americanum comb. nov. | in a survey of rhizobia associated with the native legumes in yunnan province, china, seven and nine strains isolated from the root nodules of psoralea corylifolia, sesbania cannabina and medicago lupulina were respectively classified into the novel genomic species groups i and ii in the genus ensifer (former sinorhizobium) based on the sequence analyses of the 16s rrna gene. analyses of concatenated housekeeping genes (atpd, reca and glnii) further revealed that they were distinct lineages in t ... | 2013 | 23759600 |
| taxonomic and symbiotic diversity of bacteria isolated from nodules of acacia tortilis subsp. raddiana in arid soils of tunisia. | a collection of rhizobia isolated from acacia tortilis subsp. raddiana nodules from various arid soils in tunisia was analyzed for their diversity at both taxonomic and symbiotic levels. the isolates were found to be phenotypically diverse. the majority of the isolates tolerated 3% nacl and grew at 40 °c. genetic characterization emphasized that most of the strains (42/50) belong to the genus ensifer, particularly the species ensifer meliloti, ensifer garamanticus, and ensifer numidicus. symbiot ... | 2012 | 22616625 |
