Abstract: Improving symbiotic nitrogen fixation would reduce reliance on synthetic fertilizers, but establishment of effective bacterial strains is hampered due to competition by indigenous, less effective rhizobia. This study investigated the origins, diversity, and competitiveness of… read more here.

Abstract: Ensifer meliloti (formerly Rhizobium meliloti and Sinorhizobium meliloti) is a model bacterium for understanding legume–rhizobial symbioses. The tripartite genome of E. meliloti consists of a chromosome, pSymA and pSymB, and in some instances strain-specific accessory… read more here.
