| Comment | Alpha-Proteobacteria that establish nitrogen-fixing symbiosis with a range of legume hosts. Displays intrinsic resistance to several abiotic stressful conditions such as low soil pH and high temperatures, which are common in tropical environments, and to several antimicrobials, including pesticides. Produces a wide range of Nod factor structures. Proficient maize rhizospheric and endophytic colonizer, with the capacity to promote plant growth. Isolated from a common-bean nodule in Colombia.
