“…It would be helpful to the rhizobial research community to establish some criteria for the description of symbiovars and to maintain a list of published names. The International Committee for Systematics of Prokaryotes (ICSP) Subcommittee for Rhizobia and Agrobacteria, of which we are members, has tasked us with defining suitable criteria and has agreed to host the list [ 29 ].…”

Rhizobia are bacteria that form nitrogen-fixing nodules in legume plants. The sets of genes responsible for both nodulation and nitrogen fixation are carried in plasmids or genomic islands that are often mobile. Different strains within a species sometimes have different host specificities, while very similar symbiosis genes may be found in strains of different species. These specificity variants are known as symbiovars, and many of them have been given names, but there are no established guidelines for defining or naming them. Here, we discuss the requirements for guidelines to describe symbiovars, propose a set of guidelines, provide a list of all symbiovars for which descriptions have been published so far, and offer a mechanism to maintain a list in the future.
