Popis: A group of nodule isolates form #Neptunia natans$, an indigenous stem-nodulated tropical legume found in waterlogged areas of Senegal, was studied. Polyphasic taxonomy was performed, including SDS-PAGE of total proteins, auxanography using API galleries, host-plant specificity, PCR-RFLP of the internal transcribed spacer region between the 16S and the 23S rRNA coding genes, 16S rRNA gene sequencing and DNA-DNA hybridization. It was demonstrated that this group is phenotypically and phylogenetically separate from the known species of #Rhizobium$, Sinorhizobium$, #Mesorhizobium$, #Agrobacterium$, #Bradyrhizobium$, and #Azorhizobium$. Its closest phylogenetic neighbour, as deduced by 16S rRNA gene sequencing, is #Agrobacterium vitis$ (96.2% sequence homology). The name #Allorhizobium undicola$ gen. nov., sp. nov., is proposed for this group of bacteria, which are capable of efficient nitrogen-fixing symbiosis with #Neptunia natans$, and the type strain is ORS 9925T) (= LMG 11875(T)).
