• The sequence analysis confirmed that all isolates were categorized and identified as the genus Bradyrhizobium and they were conspecific with B . elkanii , B . sp. (scirp.org)
  • Ensifer (often referred to in literature by its synonym Sinorhizobium) is a genus of nitrogen-fixing bacteria (rhizobia), three of which (Ensifer meliloti, Ensifer medicae and Ensifer fredii) have been sequenced. (wikipedia.org)
  • Diversity and phenotypic analyses of salt- and heat-tolerant wild bean Phaseolus filiformis rhizobia native of a sand beach in Baja California and description of Ensifer aridi sp. (wikipedia.org)
  • We compare the genetic diversity and taxonomic placement of rhizobia nodulating T. suavissima to members of an Ensifer reference collection. (usda.gov)
  • The classification of rhizobia is becoming increasingly complex and is revised periodically because of new findings that propose new genera and new species. (benthamscience.com)
  • Phenotypic diversity of rhizobia has been studied by several methods, particularly numerical analysis, enzyme pattern and serological study. (benthamscience.com)
  • The results obtained from numerical analysis support the proposal of several novel species of rhizobia. (benthamscience.com)
  • Here we describe a novel clade within Ensifer meliloti and consider how geographic and ecological isolation contributed to the limited distribution of this group. (usda.gov)
  • Because no type strains have been submitted to international culture collections, these are not currently recognized as valid species. (wikipedia.org)
  • We used multilocus sequence analysis to estimate the genetic relatedness of 56 T. suavissima symbionts to 28 Ensifer reference strains. (usda.gov)
  • The strains also shared few alleles with Ensifer reference strains from other continents. (usda.gov)
  • 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. (wikipedia.org)
  • In the present study, we characterized forty isolates of indigenous black gram bradyrhizobia from Myanmar based on the sequence analysis of the bacterial 16S rRNA gene. (scirp.org)
  • Numerical analysis employs a large range of biochemical and metabolic tests to differentiate among rhizobial species. (benthamscience.com)
  • In response to a request that the single extant species of Ensifer (Ensifer adhaerens) be moved to Sinorhizobium, a special ICSP subcommittee was formed to evaluate the request. (wikipedia.org)
  • It was ultimately ruled that Ensifer retained priority and that all Sinorhizobium species be transferred to the genus Ensifer. (wikipedia.org)
  • Two species have been described which have since been reclassified into existing species: Sinorhizobium morelense (now Ensifer adhaerens) and Sinorhizobium xinjiangense (now Ensifer fredii-though some dissent exists). (wikipedia.org)
  • These legumes include three species within two closely related genera Melilotus and Trigonella. (usda.gov)
  • They have a natural distribution extending from the Mediterranean basin through west Asia, where there is an unsurpassed number of species belonging to these genera. (usda.gov)
