Genetic diversity of Mimosa pudica rhizobial symbionts in soils of French Guiana: investigating the origin and diversity of Burkholderia phymatum and other beta-rhizobia.
Ravi P.N. Mishra,Pierre Tisseyre,Rémy Melkonian,Clémence Chaintreuil,Lucie Miché,Agnieszka Klonowska,Sophie Gonzalez,Gilles Béna,Gisèle Laguerre,Lionel Moulin +9 more
TL;DR: Phylogenies of nodA, nodC and nifH genes showed a monophyly of symbiotic genes for beta-rhizobia isolated from Mimosa spp.

Biodiversity of Mimosa pudica rhizobial symbionts (Cupriavidus taiwanensis, Rhizobium mesoamericanum) in New Caledonia and their adaptation to heavy metal-rich soils.
Agnieszka Klonowska,Clémence Chaintreuil,Pierre Tisseyre,Lucie Miché,Rémy Melkonian,Marc Ducousso,Gisèle Laguerre,Brigitte Brunel,Lionel Moulin +8 more
TL;DR: The diversity of M. pudica symbionts in the island of New Caledonia, which is characterized by soils with high heavy metal content, especially of Ni, is described and specific metal tolerance marker genes were found in the genomes of these Symbionts, and their origin was investigated by phylogenetic analyses.

TL;DR: The type strain of the species, STM 815T, was isolated from a root nodule in French Guiana in 2000 and is a highly competitive strain for nodulation compared to other Mimosa symbionts, as it also nodulates a broad range of other legume genera and species.
The geographical patterns of symbiont diversity in the invasive legume Mimosa pudica can be explained by the competitiveness of its symbionts and by the host genotype.

TL;DR: A strong strain effect on competitiveness largely explained by the rhizobial species, with Burkholderia phymatum being the most competitive species, followed by B. tuberum, whereas all other species shared similar and reduced levels of competitiveness.
