title: [A study on taxonomy of rhizobia isolated from Kummerwia sp. and Indigofera sp].
abstract: The rhizobial strains isolated from Kummerowia and Indigofera and the known reference strains were classified by performing numerical taxonomy. New isolated strains were divided into two new clusters at 83% similarity level. Based on the numerical taxonomy, additional isolates in each cluster were studied by using SDS-PAGE of whole-cell protein. Twenty-four strains isolated from Kummerowia fell into cluster 1. Twenty strains isolated from Indigofera fell into cluster 2. The results of G + C mol% and DNA homology analysis showed that the DNA homologies between the central strain SH713 and SHL042 and the 13 type strains were less than 61%. Thus, the rhizobial strains from Kummerowia and Indigofera were two new individual species of Rhizobium.
