Soil Biology of the Rhizobiaceae

  • Chapter
The Rhizobiaceae

Abstract

The family Rhizobiaceae is comprised of six genera of plant-associating bacteria, Rhizobium, Bradyrhizobium, Sinorhizobium, Azorhizobium, Agrobacterium, and Phyllobacterium. A seventh genus, Mesorhizobium, has been proposed recently (Jarvis et al., 1997; Young and Haukka, 1996). In Bergey’s manual (Kersters and DeLey, 1984), the first four genera are distinguished from Agrobacterium and Phyllobacterium by their ability to form root- or stem-nodule symbioses with members of the plant family Leguminosae in which atmospheric nitrogen may be fixed into ammonia, and used by the host. On the other hand, many members of the genus Agrobacterium are described in Bergey’s manual as phytopathogenic, and are capable of producing hypertrophies, tumors, and abnormal root growth on diverse plant species.
