Popis: The introduction of legumes and nitrogen-fixing bacteria in tropical areas under pasture is a key factor for improvement of soil fertility. However, there are still very few studies concerning the symbionts of tropical forage legumes. We performed a polyphasic study with three strains representing the genus Bradyrhizobium (BR 446T, BR 510 and BR 511) isolated from the tropical perennial forage legume of the genus Stylosanthes. On the basis of 16S rRNA gene sequences, the three strains showed highest similarity with B. huanghuaihaiense , and in the analysis of the intergenic transcribed spacer (ITS) they showed less than 93.4 % similarity to all described species of the genus Bradyrhizobium . Multilocus sequence analysis (MLSA) with three, four or five (dnaK, glnII, gyrB, recA and rpoB) housekeeping genes confirmed that the BR strains belong to a distinct clade, with
