A group of exopolysaccharide-producing bacteria was isolated from the root environment of Arabidopsis thaliana. The genetic diversity revealed by REP-PCR fingerprinting indicated that the isolates correspond to different strains. 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis showed that the isolates are closely related to the strains Rhizobium sp. YAS34 and USDA 1920, respectively isolated from sunflower roots and Medicago ruthenica nodules. These bacteria belong to the Rhizobium lineage of the Alphaproteobacteria, and the closest known species was Rhizobium sullae. DNA-DNA hybridization experiments and biochemical analysis demonstrated that the nine strains isolated from A. thaliana and Rhizobium strains YAS34 and USDA 1920 constitute a novel species within the genus Rhizobium, for which the name Rhizobium alamii sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is GBV016(T) (=CFBP 7146(T) =LMG 24466(T)).

With the increasing demand for alternative solutions to replace or optimize the use of synthetic fertilizers and pesticides, the inoculation of bacteria that can contribute to the growth and health of plants (PGPR) is essential. The properties classically sought in PGPR are the production of phytohormones and other growth-promoting molecules, and more rarely the production of exopolysaccharides. We compared the effect of two strains of exopolysaccharide-producing Rhizobium alamii on rapeseed grown in a calcareous silty-clay soil under water stress conditions or not.

The species Arthrobacter viscosus was isolated from soil from Guatemala and it was classified into the genus Arthrobacter on the basis of phenotypic traits. Nevertheless, the results of16S rRNA gene analysis indicated that this species is a member of the genus Rhizobium, with Rhizobium alamii GBV016T and Rhizobium mesosinicum CCBAU 25010T as the most closely related species with 99.64 and 99.

The strain designated as AB21(T) was isolated from chloroethylenes contaminated soil. Cells are gram-negative, aerobic, non-spore-forming, and motile rods. Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequence showed that it belonged to the genus Rhizobium, and was closely related to Rhizobium sullae IS 123(T) (97.

Heavy metals such as cadmium (Cd(2+)) affect microbial metabolic processes. Consequently, bacteria adapt by adjusting their cellular machinery. We have investigated the dose-dependent growth effects of Cd(2+) on Rhizobium alamii, an exopolysaccharide (EPS)-producing bacterium that forms a biofilm on plant roots.
