TL;DR: The annotated DNA sequence of the α-proteobacteriumSinorhizobium meliloti, the symbiont of alfalfa, is presented, indicating that all three elements contribute, in varying degrees, to symbiosis and reveals how this genome may have emerged during evolution.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: The genome sequence provides the basis for the future design of strategies to mitigate the ecological damage caused by oil spills and provides A. borkumensis SK2 with a competitive edge in oil-polluted environments.
Journal ArticleDOI
Analysis of the chromosome sequence of the legume symbiont Sinorhizobium meliloti strain 1021.

TL;DR: The presence in this replicon of a large number of nucleotide cyclases with a peculiar structure, as well as of genes homologous to virulence determinants of animal and plant pathogens, opens perspectives in the study of this bacterium both as a free-living soil microorganism and as a plant symbiont.
Journal ArticleDOI
The complete sequence of the 1,683-kb pSymB megaplasmid from the N2-fixing endosymbiont Sinorhizobium meliloti
Turlough M. Finan,Stefan Weidner,Kim Wong,Jens Buhrmester,Patrick S. G. Chain,Frank J. Vorhölter,Ismael Hernández-Lucas,Anke Becker,Alison Cowie,Jérôme Gouzy,Brian Golding,Alfred Pühler +11 more
TL;DR: Analysis of the 1,683,333-nt sequence of the pSymB megaplasmid from the symbiotic N2-fixing bacterium Sinorhizobium meliloti revealed that the replicon has a high gene density with a total of 1,570 protein-coding regions, with few insertion elements and regions duplicated elsewhere in the genome.
Journal ArticleDOI
Complete genome of the mutualistic, N2-fixing grass endophyte Azoarcus sp. strain BH72
Andrea Krause,Adarsh Ramakumar,Daniela Bartels,Federico Battistoni,Thomas Bekel,Jens Boch,Melanie Böhm,Frauke Friedrich,Thomas Hurek,Lutz Krause,Burkhard Linke,Alice C. McHardy,Alice C.

TL;DR: Genome comparison with the Azoarcus-related soil bacterium strain EbN1 revealed a surprisingly low degree of synteny, indicating a low rate of recent gene transfer that is presumably due to adaptation to a stable, low-stress microenvironment.
