General Information: Nitrogen fixation. Hyphomicrobium sp. (strain MC1) is a chloromethane-degrading Gram-negative bacterium isolated from industrial sewage sludge and from enrichment cultures originating from leaves of A.thaliana grown with chloromethane as the sole carbon source.
Subject: NC_002678:2739829 Mesorhizobium loti MAFF303099, complete genome
Lineage: Mesorhizobium loti; Mesorhizobium; Phyllobacteriaceae; Rhizobiales; Proteobacteria; Bacteria
General Information: Plant symbiont bacterium. This organism contains a symbiosis island that is responsible for symbiotic relationships with plants (lotus) which is similar to what is observed with other Rhizobia that form similar relationships with legumes. The bacterium enters root nodules and performs nitrogen-fixation for the plant cell while being provided with a protective environment to grow in. Nitrogen fixation and root nodule formation genes are carried on a symbiosis island.
