Phylogenies of atpD and recA support the small subunit rRNA-based classification of rhizobia [PDF]
The current classification of the rhizobia (root-nodule symbionts) assigns them to six genera. It is strongly influenced by the small subunit (16S, SSU) rRNA molecular phylogeny, but such single-gene phylogenies may not reflect the evolution of the ...
