In this study 17 isolates from effective nodules of Vicia faba and Pisum sativum var. macrocarpum growing in different soils from Peru were isolated and characterized. The isolates, presenting 11 different RAPD profiles, were distributed in three groups on the basis of their 16S-RFLP patterns. The 16S rRNA gene sequences of strains from 16S-RFLP groups I, II and III were closely related (identities higher than 99.5%) to Rhizobium leguminosarum bv. trifolii DSM 30141 (=ATCC 14480), R. leguminosarum bv. viciae DSM 30132(T) and Rhizobium etli CFN42(T) (=USDA 9032(T)), respectively. The analysis of the 16S-23S intergenic spacer (ITS) and two housekeeping genes, atpD and recA, confirmed the identification of strains from group I, however those from groups II and III were phylogenetically divergent to strains DSM 30132(T) and CFN42(T). These results support the fact that the 16S rRNA gene is not adequate for identification at species level within genus Rhizobium and suggest the existence of putative new species within the phylogenetic group of R. leguminosarum. They also confirm the need of a taxonomic revision of R. leguminosarum since the reference strains of the three biovars included in this study are phylogenetically divergent according to their ITS, atpD and recA gene sequences.

Introduction: Bunge is an important medicinal legume species widely cultivated in northeastern China (NEC) and northwestern China (NWC) and can establish a symbiotic relationship with nitrogen-fixing rhizobial strains. However, there are limited reports comparing the genetic diversity, differentiation, and gene flow of rhizobial strains associated with this plant in different geographic regions.
Methods: We used multilocus sequence analysis (MLSA) to investigate the phylogeny and genetic diversity of rhizobia and to estimate their intra- and inter-regional gene flow and genetic differentiation based on the analysis of concatenated core genes (, , and ) and the critical symbiotic gene .
Pseudomonas chlororaphis ZH2: Evaluation of the Biocontrol Potential of Continuous Cropping Obstacles on the Basis of Genome Analysis, Autotoxic Substance Degradation and In Vitro Antifungal Activity.

The accumulation of autotoxic substances and fungal pathogens in soil are the two leading causes of continuous cropping obstacles. In this context, the use of beneficial strains for the biological control of continuous cropping obstacles is a promising research direction. In this work, the functions of Pseudomonas chlororaphis ZH2 in antagonizing pathogenic fungi and degrading autotoxic substances during continuous cropping were studied via genome-wide sequence analysis, antifungal activity in vitro, and autotoxic substances degrading tests.

Article Synopsis
- This study explores the diversity and geographic distribution of pea-nodulating rhizobia in Yunnan Province, focusing on the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau.
- A total of 615 rhizobial isolates were genetically characterized into 43 different genotypes, with a dominant group identified as symbiovar viciae, showcasing their effective nitrogen fixation abilities on pea plants.
- The findings indicate that the distribution of these rhizobia is influenced by soil nutrient levels, and several strains were identified as promising candidates for inoculants due to their superior plant growth promotion effects.

A novel actinobacterium strain, HUAS 14-6, was isolated from the healthy leaves of Camellia oleifera collected from Changde City, Hunan Province, China. Strain HUAS 14-6 produced tight spiral spore chains consisting of oval or spherical spores with a smooth surface. 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis revealed that strain HUAS 14-6 belonged to the genus Streptomyces and shared highest similarity to Streptomyces bungoensis DSM 41781 (99.

Actinomycetes have emerged as significant biocontrol resources due to their rich array of bioactive natural products. While much research has historically focused on secondary metabolites isolated from their fermentation broth, there remains a dearth of reports on their volatile organic compounds (VOCs). Here, strain ML27, isolated from soil, was identified as Streptomyces albidoflavus based on morphological features, physiological, biochemical, and molecular characteristics (16S rRNA, atpD, recA, and rpoB gene sequences).
