SUMMARYA strain ofRhizobiumisolated from the root nodule of lentil was caused to produce mutants and screened on a medium of pH 4·5. Five mutant colonies ofRhizobiumwere isolated from lentil which differed in growth over a pH range 4·5–7·5. Strains differed in their growth in acidic and calcareous soils and also in their effectiveness of N fixation.

The seabuckthorn subspecies mongolica used in this research. Seabuckthorn (Нippophae ramnoides L.) root nodule research focused on symbiotic nitrogen fixation bacteria that could aid in the cultivation of this species. Seabuckthorn root nodules have Frankia actinorhizal microorganisms.Under nitrogen-free conditions, seabuckthorn seedlings inoculated with a homogenate of root nodules that grew normally and the fresh weight of root nodules had positively correlated with plant growth. In the field, nitrogenase activity in root nodules was high in the period from June to September,when air temperatures were high and photosynthesis was active. Also we investigated the effect of nitrate on nitrogenase activity in seabuckthorn root nodules. Root nodules with many lobes were found in mature seabuckthorn trees grown in the field.

Abstract Rhizobia are soil bacteria capable of forming symbiotic nitrogen-fixing nodules associated with leguminous plants. In fast-growing legume-nodulating rhizobia, such as the species in the family Rhizobiaceae, the symbiotic plasmid is the main genetic basis for nitrogen-fixing symbiosis, and is susceptible to horizontal gene transfer. To further understand the symbioses evolution in Rhizobiaceae, we analyzed the pan-genome of this family based on 92 genomes of type/reference strains and reconstructed its phylogeny using a phylogenomics approach. Intriguingly, although the genetic expansion that occurred in chromosomal regions was the main reason for the high proportion of low-frequency flexible gene families in the pan-genome, gene gain events associated with accessory plasmids introduced more genes into the genomes of nitrogen-fixing species. For symbiotic plasmids, although horizontal gene transfer frequently occurred, transfer may be impeded by, such as, the host’s physical isolation and soil conditions, even among phylogenetically close species. During coevolution with leguminous hosts, the plasmid system, including accessory and symbiotic plasmids, may have evolved over a time span, and provided rhizobial species with the ability to adapt to various environmental conditions and helped them achieve nitrogen fixation. These findings provide new insights into the phylogeny of Rhizobiaceae and advance our understanding of the evolution of symbiotic nitrogen fixation.
