Abstract

The genome sequences of two nitrogen-fixing type strains of the Rhizobium tropici group were obtained: Rhizobium calliandrae CCGE524^T and R. mayense CCGE526^T. Genomic analyses confirmed their taxonomic position and identified three complete sequences of the repABC genes, indicative of three plasmids, one of them carrying symbiotic genes.

Keywords: Rhizobium calliandrae; Rhizobium mayense; Rhizobium tropici; biological nitrogen fixation; nodulation; plasmid; symbiosis.
