Neorhizobium sp. SOG26
An endophytic bacteria isolated from seeds of the wild rice species Oryza glumaepatula. Able to fix nitrogen and solubilize iron by producing siderophores. Molecular identification using 16S rRNA suggested it represented a novel species of the genus Neorhizobium. Whole genome sequence comparisons confirmed its status as a novel Neorhizobium species for which the name Neorhizobium oryzae is suggested.
