Abstract

Neptunia oleracea is an annual aquatic stem-nodulated legume indigeneous of waterlogged places in Senegal. Bacterial isolates from nodules of N. oleracea can infect Medicago sativa roots but the nodules are not efficient. No information is available on the taxonomy of Neptunia specific bacteria.
