Abstract
The genetic diversity and phylogeny of root module bacteria entering into symbiotic relations with Caragana arborescens introduced on the territory of the Republic of Bashkortostan (RB) were studied. Analysis of the 85 strains isolated from root-nodules showed that, according to the DNA polymorphism revealed by RAPD analysis, they can be divided into 12 groups. It was found that, both in natural habitats and on the territory of the RB, Caragana arborescens is primarily nodulated by Mesorhizobium bacteria whose 16S rRNA gene sequences differ to some degree from those of the bacteria described earlier by Chinese authors. Bacteria assigned to the genus Phyllobacterium based on their 16S rRNA gene sequences were also revealed in plants growing on the territory of the RB.
