Abstract
Three bacterial strains (WSM 1283, WSM 1284, WSM 1497) isolated from root n odules of the pasture legume Biserrula pelecinus L. growing in Morocco, Ita ly and Greece, respectively, were studied in order to determine their phylo genetic relationship to the other members of the family Rhizobiaceae. A pol yphasic approach, which included analyses of morphological and physiologica l characteristics, plasmid profiles, symbiotic performance and 16S rRNA gen e sequencing, indicated that these strains belong to the genus Mesorhizobiu m.
