To determine the taxonomic relationship between Thai soybean bradyrhizobia and soybean bradyrhizobia from other regions, a total of 62 Bradyrhizobium strains were isolated in Thailand. The genetic diversity of the strains was examined with reference to 46 Japanese and 15 USDA strains. The degree of sequence divergence in and around common nod gene regions of the 123 strains was estimated by restriction fragment length polymorphism analysis using the Bradyrhizobium japonicum USDA 110 common nodDYABC gene probe. The phylogenetic grouping of the strains resulted in four major clusters. Cluster 1 comprised the Japanese and USDA strains, which originated in temperate regions, whereas clusters 3 and 4 comprised the tropical Thai strains. Cluster 1 strains comprised the DNA homology groups I and Ia, and hence, were classified as B. japonicum. Cluster 2 strains were in the DNA homology group II, and hence, were classified as Bradyrhizobium elkanii. Clusters 3 and 4 strains, however, did not correspond to any known DNA homology groups. These results indicate that Thai soybean bradyrhizobia are distantly related to B. japonicum and B. elkanii.
