Bacterial microbiota associated with ants of the genus Tetraponera (2007, background): “This may be explained by lateral gene transfer between different bacterial taxa that has been shown for nifH before (Laguerre et al., 2001; Raymond et al., 2004), or it might be an indication of other, less abundant symbiotic bacteria in the gut of the ant bearing this gene besides the dominant…”
Advances in Rhizobium Research (2002, background): “Among Rhizobium and Sinorhizobium strains nodulating Phaseolus vulgaris there are indications that genetic transfer of symbiotic information has occurred because nodA gene sequences are quite similar among these strains (Laguerre et al., 2001).”
Diversity of Rhizobium-Phaseolus vulgaris symbiosis: overview and perspectives (2003, background): “Interestingly, the bean Sinorhizobium isolates had nod genes that resembled those of the phaseoli group suggesting that they were acquired by lateral transfer (Laguerre et al., 2001).”
Unique community structure and biogeography of soybean rhizobia in the saline-alkaline soils of Xinjiang, China (2009, methodology): “Primers nifHF (5′-TAC GGN AAR GGS GGN ATC GGC AA-3′) and nifHI (5′-AGC ATG TCY TCS AGY TCN TCC A-3′) were used for amplification of nifH (dinitrogenase reductase) gene according to Laguerre et al. (2001) .”
