“…For this, markers such as recA, glnII, atpD , dnaK, gyrB , and rpoB , have been frequently used to characterize bradyrhizobial species and strains (Vinuesa et al, 2005b; Rivas et al, 2009; Delamuta et al, 2012). Novel markers such as ftsA gene provide congruent phylogenies to those derived from recA and glnII gene sequences (Kalita and Malek, 2019). Bradyrhizobium diversity knowledge has expanded recently with studies from native legumes in Africa (Gronemeyer et al, 2017; Jaiswal and Dakora, 2019; Puozaa et al, 2019), from Brazilian and Indian Chamaecrista (Santos et al, 2017; Rathi et al, 2018), from threatened native species in Brazil (Fonseca et al, 2012), from Genisteae plants in Poland (Kalita and Malek, 2017), indigenous trees in China (Yao et al, 2015) as examples.…”
