Effective diazotrophic symbiont of the leguminous tree Mimosa flocculosa Burkart, which is endemic to South America.
Highly specific and effective in fixing nitrogen with the host species and is unusual in its capacity to grow in vitro at 40 deg C without losing its symbiotic properties.
Isolated from a root nodule of Mimosa flocculosa, endemic to southern South America.
