Of 42 rhizobial isolates from Medicago sativa and Melilotus spp. growing in
arid saline fields in Xinjiang, China, 40 were identified as Sinorhizobium
meliloti by a polyphasic approach. However, diverse groups were obtained f
rom these isolates in numerical taxonomy and SOS-PACE of proteins. They cou
ld grow at pH 10.5 and were tolerant to 2.5-4.0 % (w/v) NaCl.
