Complete Genome of Sinorhizobium meliloti AK76, a Symbiont of Wild Diploid Medicago lupulina from the Mugodgary Mountain Region.

Sinorhizobium meliloti is a symbiotic bacterial species forming nitrogen-fixing nodules on roots of annual and perennial Medicago spp. We report the full genome sequence of S. meliloti strain AK76, an effective symbiont of the wild diploid plant Medicago lupulina grown in the Mugodgary Mountain region, Kazakhstan.

Complete Genome Sequence of Sinorhizobium meliloti S35m, a Salt-Tolerant Isolate from Alfalfa Rhizosphere in Soil Native to the Caucasus Region.

The genome of a symbiotically effective salt-tolerant strain, Sinorhizobium meliloti S35m, isolated from alfalfa rhizosphere in soil native to the Caucasus region, was sequenced. Genomic islands, prophages, and elements of a potential CRISPR/Cas I type (Cas3_0_I) system were identified in the genome.

Draft Genome Sequence of Sinorhizobium meliloti AK555.

The inoculation of legume seeds with Sinorhizobium bacteria significantly improves pasture production. Here, we report the draft genome sequence of symbiotically efficient and salt-tolerant Sinorhizobium meliloti inoculant strain AK555, which substantially increases biomass yield of a number of Medicago sativa subsp. varia varieties, such as "Agniya," "Vega 87," and "Selena."

Draft Genome Sequence of Sinorhizobium meliloti Strain AK170.

Root nodule bacteria of Sinorhizobium meliloti species live in a symbiotic relationship with alfalfa plants. We report here the draft genome sequence of S. meliloti strain AK170, recovered from nodules of Medicago orthoceras (Kar. & Kir.) growing in an area impacted by salinization.
