Microevolution, speciation and macroevolution in rhizobia: Genomic mechanisms and selective patterns

Nodule bacteria (rhizobia), N2-fixing symbionts of leguminous plants, represent an excellent model to study the fundamental issues of evolutionary biology, including the tradeoff between microevolution, speciation, and macroevolution, which remains poorly understood for free-living organisms. Taxono...
