Type strains Rhizobium trifolii ATCC 14480, Rhizobium meliloti ATCC 9930, Rhizobium phaseoli ATCC 14482, Rhizobium leguminosarum ATCC 10004, and Bradyrhizobium japonicum ATCC 10324 were used to represent recognized species. Bradyrhizobium sp. (Lupinus) strain ATCC 10319, the type strain of the former species Rhizobium lupini, and Bradyrhizobium sp. strain 3G4b5 were also included. The fast-growing soybean-nodulating strains had low levels of deoxyribonucleic acid homology with the type strains studied (5 to 43%). The fast-growing soybean-nodulating strains studied constitute at least two distinct deoxyribonucleic acid homology groups. %U https://www.microbiologyresearch.org/content/journal/ijsem/10.1099/00207713-34-3-283
