Journal ArticleDOI

Microvirga vignae sp. nov., a root nodule symbiotic bacterium isolated from cowpea grown in semi-arid Brazil.

TL;DR: The data support the hypothesis that genes related to nitrogen fixation were obtained via horizontal gene transfer, as sequences of nifH genes were very similar to those found in members of the genera Rhizobium and Mesorhizobia, which are not immediate relatives of the genus Microvirga, as shown by 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis.
Journal ArticleDOI

Dark septate endophyte decreases stress on rice plants

TL;DR: Dark septate endophytes fungi were shown to increase the tolerance of rice plants to stress caused by water deficiency, as indicated by the decrease in antioxidant enzyme activity.
Journal ArticleDOI

Assessment of cowpea rhizobium diversity in Cerrado areas of northeastern Brazil

TL;DR: There was an inverse relationship between intrinsic antibiotic resistance and rhizobial diversity, while the last decreases as more legume crops are introduced into the area, the former increases, suggesting that the presence of legumes may provide ecological conditions to select specific Rhizobium groups, which acquire competitiveness traits and become successfully established.
