Other claims from this paper (8)
- Observation The soil isolates were represented by 53 electrophoretic types clustered into seven groups.
- Method / resource MLEE levels of relatedness were in good agreement with relatedness from repetitive sequence PCR and previously published DNA reassociation studies.
- Observation Group B was identified as the primary creator of the multilocus disequilibrium in the soil population.
- Observation 72 of 75 isolates of the nodule-dominant AS6 complex were found in group B.
- Observation Subclover isolates WS2-01 and WS2-02 from another Oregon site were also found in group B.
- Observation The most numerous group B electrophoretic types 2 and 3 were suboptimally effective or ineffective at fixing nitrogen on six clover species.
- Observation Four further groups of isolates were identified from 32 strains of diverse origins.
- Observation Group A was the most dissimilar group and contained strain USDA 2124 (T24) with unique symbiotic characteristics.
