Abstract

Comparative studies of fast-growing rhizobia were reviewed, and as a result a new species, , is proposed. The type strain of this species, which was isolated from a root nodule on (bird’s-foot trefoil), is NZP 2213 (= ATCC 33669). Plant specificity, phage relationships, the solubleprotein pattern, and deoxyribonucleic acid base sequence homology distinguished from currently recognized species.
