Abstract

Phenotypic properties (growth characteristics, utilization of carbon and nitrogen sources, and intrinsic antibiotic resistance) of 53 strains isolated from root nodules of the temperate-zone legumes spp. (29 strains), (7 strains), (7 strains), (3 strains), spp. (4 strains), and (3 strains) were compared with those of other and strains. The final matrix, containing 83 strains and 56 nonsymbiotic features, was used for computer cluster analysis. The dendrogram showed that the new strains of temperate-zone rhizobia formed a cluster separate from both and spp. Two large groups of temperate-zone rhizobia were revealed. Group 1 included rhizobial strains originating from different geographical regions with a temperate climate, while group 2 included strains from the same geographical origin, South Siberia. The strains of recognized species were clustered, in general, with each other as expected from phylogenetic relatedness.
