Journal ArticleDOI
Legume symbiotic nitrogen fixation by beta-proteobacteria is widespread in nature.
Wen-Ming Chen,Lionel Moulin,Cyril Bontemps,Cyril Bontemps,Peter Vandamme,Gilles Béna,Catherine Boivin-Masson,Catherine Boivin-Masson +7 more
TL;DR: Findings suggest that beta-rhizobia evolved from diazotrophs through multiple lateral nod gene transfers, strongly supporting the hypothesis of the unique origin of common nod genes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Legume-Nodulating Betaproteobacteria: Diversity, Host Range, and Future Prospects
Prasad Gyaneshwar,Ann M. Hirsch,Lionel Moulin,Wen-Ming Chen,Geoffrey N. Elliott,Cyril Bontemps,Paulina Estrada-de los Santos,Eduardo Gross,Fábio Bueno dos Reis,Janet I. Sprent,J. Peter W. Young,Euan K. James +11 more
TL;DR: Initial analyses of genome sequences have suggested that plant-associated Burkholderia spp.
Journal ArticleDOI
Burkholderia species are ancient symbionts of legumes
Cyril Bontemps,Geoffrey N. Elliott,Marcelo F. Simon,Fábio Bueno dos Reis Junior,Eduardo Gross,Rebecca Lawton,Nicolau Elias Neto,M. F. Loureiro,Sergio Miana de Faria,Janet I. Sprent,Euan K. James,J. Peter W. Young +11 more
TL;DR: It is found that the origins of symbiosis in Burkholderia are much deeper than previously suspected, and Gene sequences defined seven distinct and divergent species complexes within the genus Burk holderia.
Journal ArticleDOI
Burkholderia phymatum is a highly effective nitrogen-fixing symbiont of Mimosa spp. and fixes nitrogen ex planta.
Geoffrey N. Elliott,Wen-Ming Chen,Jui-Hsing Chou,Hui-Chun Wang,Shih-Yi Sheu,Liamara Perin,Veronica Massena Reis,Lionel Moulin,Marcelo F. Simon,Cyril Bontemps,J. M. Sutherland,Rosana Bessi,Sergio Miana de Faria,Michael J. Trinick,Alan R. Prescott,Janet I. Sprent,Euan K. James +16 more
TL;DR: Burkholderia phymatum is therefore an effective Mimosa symbiont with a broad host range, and is the first reported beta-rhizobial strain to fix nitrogen in free-living culture.
Journal ArticleDOI
Genome sequence of the β-rhizobium Cupriavidus taiwanensis and comparative genomics of rhizobia

TL;DR: It is suggested that a unique shared genetic strategy does not support symbiosis of rhizobia with legumes, and the first complete genome sequence of a beta-proteobacterial nitrogen-fixing symbiont of legume, Cupriavidus taiwanensis, reveals characteristics of a minimal rhizobium, including the most compact (35-kb) symbiotic island identified so far in any rhzobium.
