Abstract
ABSTRACT
Azospirillum
species are plant-associated diazotrophs of the alpha subclass of
Proteobacteria
. The genomes of five of the six
Azospirillum
species were analyzed by pulsed-field gel electrophoresis. All strains possessed several megareplicons, some probably linear, and 16S ribosomal DNA hybridization indicated multiple chromosomes in genomes ranging in size from 4.8 to 9.7 Mbp. The
nifHDK
operon was identified in the largest replicon.
