In this paper a Biology user-database of tropical and temperature rhizobial strains was created and used in conjunction with the partial 16s rRNA sequencing method to characterize 12 rhizobial isolates from Africa acacias and other tropical woody legumes. A high degree of diversity was shown in the relatively small sample of isolates, with 4 out of 5 of the currently proposed rhizobial genera represented. This is the first time Biology has shown congruence with genotype fingerprint using a wide selection of rhizobial references and test strains.
