Species code:	RHILW
Taxonomy:	Bacteria; Proteobacteria; Alphaproteobacteria; Rhizobiales; Rhizobiaceae; Rhizobium/Agrobacterium group; Rhizobium (TaxID: 395492) [NEWT/ NCBI]
Description:	Rhizobium leguminosarum is a widely studied alpha-proteobacterial N2-fixing legume symbiont of legumes. It has three biovars - viciae, trifolii, phaseoli - that differ in their host specificity. The host-specificity genes are carried on large plasmids that also carry the genes for nitrogen fixation. All strains of R. leguminosarum have several large plasmids, but the number and sizes of plasmids varies among strains. This large number of plasmids distinguishes R. leguminosarum from the other rhizobia for which complete genome sequences have been determined. WSM2304 is able to nodulate American and African perennial clovers, while the dissimilar strain WSM1325 nodulates many perennial clovers of Mediterranean origin used in farming and is one of the most important clover inoculants. It is important to understand this incompatibility.
