Common soybean inoculant strains in Brazil are members of Bradyrhizobium elkanii.
The Brazilian inoculant strains 29W and 587 were found to be members of Bradyrhizobium elkanii primarily on the basis of 16S rRNA gene sequences identical to that of B. elkanii USDA76 and on the basis of reactivity with antibodies against serogroups 76 and 31, respectively. The agronomic consequences of using strains of B. elkanii as soybean inoculants are discussed.
