ABSTRACT
Of 42 rhizobial isolates from Medicago sativa and Melilotus spp. growing in arid saline fields in Xinjiang, China, 40 were identified as Sinorhizobium meliloti by a polyphasic approach. However, diverse groups were obtained from these isolates in numerical taxonomy and SDS-PAGE of proteins. They could grow at pH 10.5 and were tolerant to 2.5-4.0% (w/v) NaCl.
