Symbiotic nodulation of gymnosperm Podocarpus macro-phyllus and rhizobia has never been reported. In this study, 11 endophytic bacteria strains were isolated from root nodules of P. macrophyllus and its variation P. macrophyllus var. maki. The plant infection tests on these strains indicated that the isolated strains could be nodulated on P. macrophyllus plants, and weak nitrogenase activity of nodules was found in acetylene reduction method. According to the physiological and biochemical characteristics of the 11 strains, GXLO 02 was selected as the representative strain. 16S rDNA full-length sequence analysis of GXLO 02 confirmed that the representative strain GXLO 02 belongs to Rhizobium sp.展开更多

The unrooted phylogenetic tree was produced. In this tree, the strain SH714 with \%Sinorhizobium xinjiangensis, S. fredii, S. meliloti, S. medicae, S. saheli\% and \%S. teranga\% constituted a branch of \%Sinorhizobium.\% Within this branch, the similarity valuse of 16S rDNA sequence between strain SH714 and \%S. xinjiangesis, S. fredii, S. meliloti, S. medicae, S. saheli\% and \%S. teranga\% were 97.4%, 97.5%, 96.8%, 96.7%, 97.2% and 95.6% respectively, the values were more than 95%, this indicated that these known species should belong to the same genus. The values of DNA homology between type strains of these species were less than 70%. Thus, the strain SH714 represented a new rhizobial species, and there were some diversity between SH714 and known rhizobial species in phenotypic feature and composition of protien.展开更多
