The present study focuses on the nature of the rhizobia associated with legumes of the genus Hippocrepis, which totals about 10 species in Algeria and for which very little work has been performed so far. The results of our investigations, which focused on 26 plants representing 8 species of this genus and coming from 17 localities in the north and south of the country, show that all plants were nodulated and nitrogen-fixing, which indicates that the species identified can establish an efficient symbiosis with the rhizobia present in the soils that support them. The sequencing of the 16S RNA gene of the 26 strains of rhizobia isolated and authenticated by nodulation tests in the laboratory allows their assignation to 16 species of rhizobia spread over 5 genera: Ensifer, Mesorhizobium, Bradyrhizobium, Rhizobium, and Neorhizobium with a predominance of representatives of the genera Ensifer and Mesorhizobium. The results of this study, which is the first dedicated to the genus Hippocrepis, show that the rhizobial symbiosis and its ability to use atmospheric nitrogen are common among representatives of the genus Hippocrepis in Algeria and reveal a great diversity of associated rhizobia.
