Draft Genome Sequence of Rhizobium tropici SARCC-755, a Free-Living Rhizobium That Nodulated and Promoted Growth in Pigeonpea [Cajanus cajan (L.) Millsp.]

摘要

Rhizobium tropici SARCC-755 is a free-living soil bacterium that formed nodules on pigeonpea roots in the present study. However, the draft genome sequence reveals that this Rhizobium species contains the noIR gene but lacks the common nodulation (nodABC) genes and probably uses other pathways to induce nodules on the legume plant.
