Article Synopsis
- - The research details the full genome sequence of a specific bacterial strain, sp. 62B, found in the root nodules of peanut plants in central Argentina.
- - The total genome size is 8.15 megabase pairs (Mbp), which is organized into a main chromosome of 7.29 Mbp and a smaller plasmid of 0.86 Mbp.
- - This study contributes to our understanding of beneficial bacteria associated with peanut plants and their genetic makeup.
Article Synopsis
- The study presents the full genome sequence of the rhizobial strain R31, which is widely used as a commercial inoculant for chickpeas in Argentina.
- The genome has a total size of 7.25 Mb and is organized into four circular parts, including one main chromosome and three smaller plasmids.
- The main chromosome measures 6.72 Mb, while the plasmids are sized at 0.29 Mb, 0.17 Mb, and 0.07 Mb, respectively.
Article Synopsis
- The complete genome sequence of Burkholderia ambifaria strain Q53, an environmental rhizobacterium found in peanut plant roots, has been reported.
- The genome is 7.4 million base pairs long and is organized into three circular chromosomes.
- Researchers used a combination of long-read and short-read sequencing methods to determine the genome's structure.
Chickpea ( L.), one of the most cultivated legumes worldwide, is crucial for the economy of several countries and a valuable source of nutrients. Yields may be severely affected by Ascochyta blight, a disease caused by the fungus .

- - The genome sequence of Mesorhizobium ciceri strain R30 has been fully reported, highlighting its significance as a commercial inoculant for chickpea in Argentina.
- - The total genome size is nearly 7 megabases (Mb), structured in two circular components: a main chromosome measuring 6.49 Mb and a smaller plasmid of 0.46 Mb.
- - This strain is important for enhancing chickpea growth, making it a valuable resource for agricultural practices in the region.
Article Synopsis
- The complete genome sequence of sp. strain C-145, a key nitrogen-fixing rhizobacterium for peanuts in Argentina, has been sequenced.
- The genome is 9.53 million base pairs (Mbp) long and is organized in a single circular chromosome.
- The sequencing was achieved using a combination of long- and short-read assembly techniques.
is a soil bacterium of great agricultural importance because of its ability to fix atmospheric nitrogen in symbiotic association with alfalfa () roots. We looked into the involvement of exopolysaccharides (EPS) in its survival when exposed to different environmental stressors, as well as in bacteria-bacteria and bacteria-substrate interactions. The strains used were wild-type Rm8530 and two strains that are defective in the biosynthesis of EPS II: wild-type Rm1021, which has a non-functional locus, and mutant Rm8530 .
