A Nodulation-Proficient Nonrhizobial Inhabitant of Pueraria phaseoloides by W. M. M. Wedage, A. H. M. N. R. Aberathne, I. N. Harischandra, D. Gunawardana

“…When a nifH fragment from the genome of this bacterium was amplified using a pair of nifH primers, it yielded an amplicon of 360 bp that, when sequenced, helped us identify the bacterium, as belonging to a species of Pseudacidovorax intermedius, at 99% sequence identity. When we constructed a phylogenetic tree with neighboring sequences, we encountered nifH sequences of Pseudacidovorax, forming a monophyletic cluster, which too contained a single Azospirillum species. …”
