摘要
Robinia pseudoacacia microsymbionts from plants growing in Poland and Japan were evaluated for phylogeny and taxonomic position by genomic approach. Based on the comparative analyses of atpD (368 bp) and dnaK (573 bp) gene sequences as well as 16S rDNA restriction analysis (RFLP-16S rDNA), R. pseudoacacia microsymbionts were identified as Mesorhizobium strains. In dnaK and atpD gene phylograms R. pseudoacacia nodulators formed robust, monophyletic clusters with Mesorhizobium species with the nucleotide sequence similarity of 91-98% and 90-98%, respectively. The classification of R. pseudoacacia rhizobia to the genus Mesorhizobium was also supported by amplified 16S rDNA restriction analysis. The studied bacteria formed common clusters with Mesorhizobium species, and their DNA patterns were identical or nearly identical to Mesorhizobium genus strains. When DNA-DNA hybridization was performed, the total DNA of the representative R. pseudoacacia rhizobia exhibited 51-75% relatedness to DNA of Mesorhizobium amorphae ICMP15022 strain and below 41% to DNA of other Mesorhizobium species. These results showed that R. pseudoacacia and M. amorphae belong to the same genomospecies. The G+C content of DNA of R. pseudoacacia two microsymbionts was 59.7 and 60.6 mol% compared to 61-64 mol% across M. amorphae strains.
