Phylogenomic Rhizobium Species Are Structured by a Continuum of Diversity and Genomic Clusters

Phylogenomic Rhizobium Species Are Structured by a Continuum of Diversity and Genomic Clusters

The bacterial genus Rhizobium comprises diverse symbiotic nitrogen-fixing species associated with the roots of plants in the Leguminosae family. Multiple genomic clusters defined by whole genome comparisons occur within Rhizobium, but their equivalence to species is controversial. In this study we i...
