The type strain of this species, which was isolated from a root nodule on Lotus corniculatus (bird’s-foot trefoil), is NZP 2213 (= ATCC 33669). Plant specificity, phage relationships, the solubleprotein pattern, and deoxyribonucleic acid base sequence homology distinguished R. loti from currently recognized Rhizobium species., UL https://www.microbiologyresearch.org/content/journal/ijsem/10.1099/00207713-32-3-378
