Original Description
expand / minimize
The family Bradyrhizobiaceae was circumscribed for this volume on the basis of phylogenetic analysis of 16S rRNA sequences; the family contains the genera Bradyrhizobium (type genus), A pia, Agromonas, Blastobacter, Bosea, Nitrobacter, Oligotropha, Rhodoblastus, and Rhodopseudomonas. The family is phenotypically, metabolically, and ecologically diverse. It includes organisms that fix N2, photosynthetic organisms, organisms capable of aerobic and/or anaerobic respiration, and human pathogens.
