sp. nov. and sp. nov., nitrogen-fixing symbionts of tropical forage legumes Free

Abstract

Biological nitrogen fixation is a key process for agricultural production and environmental sustainability, but there are comparatively few studies of symbionts of tropical pasture legumes, as well as few described species of the genus , although it is the predominant rhizobial genus in the tropics. A detailed polyphasic study was conducted with two strains of the genus used in commercial inoculants for tropical pastures in Brazil, CNPSo 1112, isolated from perennial soybean (), and CNPSo 2833, from desmodium (). Based on 16S-rRNA gene phylogeny, both strains were grouped in the superclade, but were not clearly clustered with any known species. Multilocus sequence analysis of three (, and ) and five (plus and ) housekeeping genes confirmed that the strains are positioned in two distinct clades. Comparison with intergenic transcribed spacer sequences of type strains of described species of the genus showed similarity lower than 93.1 %, and differences were confirmed by BOX-PCR analysis. Nucleotide identity of three housekeeping genes with type strains of described species ranged from 88.1 to 96.2 %. Average nucleotide identity of genome sequences showed values below the threshold for distinct species of the genus ( < 90.6 %), and the value between the two strains was also below this threshold (91.2 %). Analysis of and gene sequences positioned the two strains in a clade distinct from other species of the genus . Morphophysiological, genotypic and genomic data supported the description of two novel species in the genus , sp. nov. (type strain CNPSo 1112 = SMS 303 = BR 1009 = SEMIA 6148 = LMG 28867) and sp. nov. (type strain CNPSo 2833 = CIAT 2372 = BR 2212 = SEMIA 6208 = U674 = LMG 2987).
