Names Burkholderia phymatum STM815
Accession numbers NC_010622, NC_010623, NC_010625, NC_010627
Background It has only recently been discovered that in addition to alphaproteobacteria some betaproteobacteria are also able to nodulate legumes and fix atmospheric nitrogen. Burkholderia phymatum STM815 was isolated from a root nodule of Machaerium lunatum in French Guiana. Although it was isolated from M.lunatum it nodulates Mimosa spp., much more effectively, and has a broader host range than another known Mimosa symbiont Cupriavidus taiwanensis LMG19424 (CUPTR). Additionally B.phymatum strain STM815 is diazotrophic in culture, and thus is the first betaproteobacteria confirmed to fix nitrogen when free-living. (EBI Integr8)
