Diversity of rhizobia from nodules of the leguminous tree Gliricidia sepium, a natural host of Rhizobium tropici.
The Rhizobium species that nodulate the legume tree Gliricidia sepium were analyzed by phenotypic characteristics (including nodule formation in different hosts), PCR-RFLP patterns and sequences of 16S rRNA genes, multilocus enzyme electrophoresis, and plasmid patterns. Strains of Rhizobium tropici type A and B, Sinorhizobium spp., and Rhizobium etli bv. phaseoli were encountered in G. sepium nodules and their presence depended on the site sampled.
