“…Each strain contained carbon fixation genes ranging from 45 to 67 ( Figure 3 ). Previous studies have shown that not all Bradyrhizobium are capable of photosynthesis, 30 and in our study, the genes for photosynthetic carbon fixation, such as ACAT , FBA , GAPDH , glpX-SEBP , maeB , mdh , pgk , rpiA , tktA , and TPI , were present in all strains, suggesting that despite the presence of carbon fixation genes many strains do not possess photosynthetic ability. The strain B. elkanii USDA61 has been noted to be non-photosynthetic, 31 but carbon fixation genes were present.…”
