Query: NC_010529:296500 Cupriavidus taiwanensis plasmid pRALTA, complete sequence Lineage: Cupriavidus taiwanensis; Cupriavidus; Burkholderiaceae; Burkholderiales; Proteobacteria; Bacteria General Information: Cupriavidus taiwanensis LMG19424 was isolated from the root nodule of the legume Mimosa pudica in Taiwan. Cupriavidus taiwanensis, also called Ralstonia taiwanensis or Wautersia taiwanensis is similar to bacteria from the Agrobacterium and Rhizobium genera that form nitrogen-fixing nodules in the roots of various leguminous plants. However, Cupriavidus taiwanensis is only distantly related to these other root nodule-forming bacteria. In Cupriavidus taiwanensis the nodule formation and nitrogen fixation genes are contained a 0.5Mb plasmid.

General Information: Sinorhizobium fredii NGR234 NGR234 is unusual in that it is able to form nodules on the roots of more than 112 plants. This organism, much like other Rhizobia, forms a symbiotic relationship with a leguminous plant, such as soybean, cowpea or pigeon pea. Expression of nodulation genes results in production of a nodulation signal which the plant cell recognizes inducing root nodule formation. The plant cell provides carbon compounds for the bacterium to grow on.
