Diversity and Geographic Distribution of Microsymbionts Associated With Invasive Species in Southern China.

In order to investigated diversity and geographic distribitution of rhizobia associated with invasive species, nodules and soils around the plants were sampled from five provinces in southern China. In total, 361 isolates were obtained from and in 25 locations. A multi-locus sequence analysis (MLSA) including 16S rRNA, , , , , and identified the isolates into eight genospecies corresponding to , , , , sp.
