  • These microsymbionts are distributed among major bacterial genera of the alpha-proteobacteria such as Rhizobium, Bradyrhizobium, Azorhizobium, Mesorhizobium, Ensifer ( Sinorhizobium ), Neorhizobium, Pararhizobium , and Allorhizobium , collectively termed "rhizobia", which can form symbiotic associations with diverse legumes.

  • Bacteria belonging to the genera Rhizobium, Sinorhizobium, Azorhizobium, and Mesorhizobium grow in the soil in free-living conditions, and in symbiosis associated with the root of legumes as nitrogen-fixing organisms. (conicet.gov.ar)
  • This agrees with studies showing that Mesorhizobium species are able to exchange symbiosis genes through lateral transfer of chromosomal symbiosis islands, thus acquiring the ability to nodulate new hosts. (nih.gov)
  • We reconstructed de novo assembled full-genome sequences from nine rhizobial symbionts, finding massive variation in the core genome and the similar symbiotic islands, indicating recent horizontal gene transfer (HGT) of the symbiosis islands into diverse Mesorhizobium lineages. (elsevierpure.com)
  • Given the recurrent HGT of the symbiosis islands into diverse Mesorhizobium strains, local Mesorhizobium communities could serve as a major source of variation for core genomes, which might prevent variation in partner quality from fixing, even in the presence of selection favoring high-quality partners.
