Abstract

A total of 95 strains of the genus were studied by using numerical taxonomic techniques to determine phenotypic relationships among “decarboxylase-negative” strains, nitrogen-fixing (N method) strains, and other members of the . Taxonomic resemblance was estimated on the basis of 129 tests by using Euclidean distance. Most strains clustered in phena, enabling identification with existing type strains. Nitrogen-fixing strains of were identified, but other nitrogen-fixing isolates could not be assigned to any specific species or biovar
