Rhizobia.txt
Meloidogyne and rhizobia are sympatric (that is, they share an ecological niche in the soil [ 3 ] , and arguably in the plant too [ 31 ] ), satisfying the minimal requirement for an HGT to occur, namely physical proximity.
Experimental evidence [ 39 ] shows that lack of either nodABC or nodD in rhizobia results in a Nod -phenotype (that is, a strain unable to initiate nodule formation on the host plant).
Interestingly, models of bacterial evolution suggest HGT as a mechanism of adaptation into either symbiosis or parasitism [ 32 ] . This is specifically thought to be the case for divergent species of rhizobia, such as the symbiont Sinorhizobium meliloti and the pathogen Rhizobium radiobacter (formerly known as Agrobacterium tumefaciens ), where differential selection and gene maintenance is likely to be responsible for different lifestyle strategies [ 33 ] .
