ABSTRACT
The species Rhizobium indigoferae and Sinorhizobium kummerowiae were isolated from legume nodules and the 16S rRNA sequences of their respective type strains, CCBAU 71042T and CCBAU 71714T, were highly divergent from those of the other species of the genera Rhizobium and Sinorhizobium, respectively. However, the 16S rRNA gene sequences obtained for strains CCBAU 71042T and CCBAU 71714T several years after description, were different from the original ones, showing 100 % similarity to the type strains of Rhizobium leguminosarum and Sinorhizobium meliloti, respectively. Phylogenetic analyses of two housekeeping genes, recA and atpD, confirmed the high phylogenetic closeness of strains CCBAU 71042T and CCBAU 71714T to the respective type strains of R. leguminosarum and S. meliloti. In the present work, we compared the genomes of the type strains of R. indigoferae and S. kummerowiae available in several culture collections with those of the respective type strains of R. leguminosarum and S. meliloti, some of them obtained in this study. The calculated average nucleotide identity-blast and digital DNA-DNA hybridization values in both cases were higher than those recommended for species differentiation, supporting the proposal for the reclassification of the type strains of R. indigoferae and S. kummerowiae into the species R. leguminosarum and S. meliloti, respectively.
