Abstract:Rhizobia are soil borne bacteria that form symbioses with legumes and fix atmospheric nitrogen. The nitrogen fixation potential of the symbionts depends on several factors such as the host and rhizobia types and environmental factors that affect distribution of the rhizobia. We isolated rhizobia nodulating common bean growing in Southern Ethiopia to evaluate their genetic diversity and phylogeography at nucleotide, locus (gene/haplotype) and species levels of genetic hierarchy. Phylogenetically, seven rhizobia… Show more
