Abstract
Nine strains isolated from symbiotic root nodules on Alhagi sparsifolia were previously designated as representing genospecies I. Phylogenetic analyses indicated that genospecies I was related closely to Mesorhizobium alhagi (genospecies II), and clearly formed a new lineage within the genus Mesorhizobium. In this study, we differentiated genospecies I from recognized species of the genus Mesorhizobium based on phylogenetic analyses of additional core genes (recA, glnA), levels of DNA-DNA relatedness (
