  • Title: Molecular phylogeny of Bradyrhizobium bacteria isolated from root nodules of tribe Genisteae plants growing in southeast Poland.
    Author: Kalita M, Małek W.
    Journal: Syst Appl Microbiol; 2017 Dec; 40(8):482-491. PubMed ID: 29102065.
    Abstract:
    The phylogeny of 16 isolates from root nodules of Genista germanica, Genista tinctoria, Cytisus ratisbonensis, and Cytisus scoparius growing in southeast Poland was estimated by comparative sequence analysis of core (16S rDNA, atpD, glnII, recA) and symbiosis-related (nodC, nodZ, nifH) genes. All the sequences analyzed placed the studied rhizobia in the genus Bradyrhizobium. Phylogenetic analysis of individual and concatenated housekeeping genes showed that the Genisteae microsymbionts form a homogeneous group with Bradyrhizobium japonicum strains. The phylogeny of nodulation and nitrogen fixation genes indicated a close relationship of the examined rhizobia with B. japonicum, Bradyrhizobium canariense, Bradyrhizobium cytisi, Bradyrhizobium rifense and Bradyrhizobium lupini strains infecting other plants of the tribe Genisteae. For the first time, the taxonomic position of G. germanica and C. ratisbonensis rhizobia, inferred from multigenic analysis, is described. The results of the phylogenetic analysis based on the protein-coding gene sequences presented in this study also indicate potential pitfalls concerning the choice of marker and reference strains, which may lead to conflicting conclusions in species delineation.
