Mesorhizobium ciceri ca181 genome sequencing. Mesorhizobium ciceri ca181

Mesorhizobium ciceri ca181. The field of microbial genomics has moved away from the primary initial focus on pathogen genomes to include the sequencing of diverse prokaryotes that occupy a range of environmental niches, and which are responsible for an array of environmental processes. Every genome that has been sequenced to date has provided new insight into biological processes, activities, and potential of these species that was not evident before the availability of the genome sequence. Most significantly, the tremendous success of genome sequencing has allowed us to pursue other avenues where we can now derive genomic information from the multitudes of uncultivable prokaryotic species and complex microbial populations that exist in nature. Mesorhizobium ciceri ca181 was selected for complete genome sequencing as it is an efficient nitrogen fixer, shows good nodulation competitiveness and performed well at different locations in All India Coordinated trials.
