Rhizobium etli is a Gram-negative soil-dwelling alphaproteobacterium that carries out symbiotic biological nitrogen fixation in close association with legume hosts. R. etli strains exhibit high sequence divergence and are geographically structured, with a potentially dramatic influence on the outcome of symbiosis. Here, we present the genome sequence of R. etli CNPAF512, a Brazilian isolate from bean nodules. We anticipate that the availability of genome sequences of R. etli strains from distinctly different areas will provide valuable new insights into the geographic mosaic of the R. etli pangenome and the evolutionary dynamics that shape it.
根瘤菌(Rhizobium etli)是一种革兰氏阴性土壤栖息的α-变形菌,与豆科宿主密切相关,进行共生生物固氮。R. etli 菌株表现出高度的序列分化,并具有地理结构,这对共生的结果可能产生巨大影响。在这里,我们展示了 R. etli CNPAF512 的基因组序列,这是一种来自豆类根瘤的巴西分离株。我们预计,来自截然不同地区的 R. etli 菌株的基因组序列的可用性将为 R. etli 泛基因组的地理镶嵌和塑造它的进化动态提供有价值的新见解。
