t0“Rhizobium leguminosarum bv. trifolii”
e1“These isolates represented 13 antigenically distinct serotypes recovered from nodules formed on various clover species”
e3“The MLEE-derived levels of relatedness among isolates of R. leguminosarum bv. trifolii were found to be in good agreement with the levels of relatedness established by using repetitive (repetitive extragenic palindromic and enterobacterial repetitive intergeneric consensus) sequences and the PCR technique and with levels of relatedness from previously published DNA reassociation studies”

Other claims from this paper (8)
- Observation The soil isolates were represented by 53 electrophoretic types clustered into seven groups.
- Observation Isolates within an electrophoretic type were phenotypically more similar to each other than to isolates of other types, by BIOLOG profiles.
- 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.
