Differential traits of rhizobia associated to root-nodules of gum acacia (Senegalia senegal), shittah tree (Vachellia seyal), pigeon pea (Cajanus cajan L) and cowpea (Vigna unguiculata)

In the present study, rhizobia partners of gum acacia (Senegalia senegal L.), shittah tree (Vachellia seyal), pigeon pea (Cajanus cajan L.) and cowpea (Vigna unguiculata L.) were characterized for their specific traits to each of the three host plants. In total 12 soil samples were collected and used to trap root-nodule rhizobia. Averagely, 24 rhizobia strains were isolated, of which 3, 4, 6...
