Global transcriptome analysis of Mesorhizobium alhagi CCNWXJ12-2 under salt stress.

Background: Mesorhizobium alhagi CCNWXJ12-2 is a α-proteobacterium which could be able to fix nitrogen in the nodules formed with Alhagi sparsifolia in northwest of China. Desiccation and high salinity are the two major environmental problems faced by M. alhagi CCNWXJ12-2.
