Monophyly of nodA and nifH genes across Texan and Costa Rican populations of Cupriavidus nodule symbionts.
nodA and nifH phylogenies for Cupriavidus nodule bacteria from native legumes in Texas and Costa Rica grouped all strains into a single clade nested among neotropical Burkholderia strains. Thus, Cupriavidus symbiotic genes were not acquired independently in different regions and are derived from other Betaproteobacteria rather than from alpha-rhizobial donors.
