Abstract

Common bean ( L.) can establish symbiotic associations with several species; however, the effectiveness of most strains at fixing nitrogen under field conditions is very low. PRF 81 is a very effective strain, usually referred to as and used successfully in thousands of doses of commercial inoculants for the common bean crop in Brazil; it has shown high rates of nitrogen fixation in all areas representative of the crop in the country. Here, we present results that indicate that PRF 81, although it belongs to the ‘ group’, which includes 10 species, , , , , , , , , and , represents a novel species. Several morpho-physiological traits differentiated PRF 81 from related species. Differences were also confirmed in the analysis of rep-PCR (sharing less than 45 % similarity with the other species), MLSA with , and genes, and DNA–DNA hybridization. The novel species, for which we propose the name sp. nov., is able to establish effective root nodule symbioses with , , , and . The type strain is PRF 81 ( = CNPSo 122 = SEMIA 4080 = IPR-Pv81 = WDCM 440).
