Abstract
ABSTRACT
nodA
and
nifH
phylogenies for
Cupriavidus
nodule bacteria from native legumes in Texas and Costa Rica grouped all strains into a single clade nested among neotropical
Burkholderia
strains. Thus,
Cupriavidus
symbiotic genes were not acquired independently in different regions and are derived from other
Betaproteobacteria
rather than from α-rhizobial donors.
