Genera[1] | |

The Rhizobiaceae are a family of proteobacteria, including many species of rhizobia, as well as plant parasites such as Agrobacterium. The Rhizobiaceae are, like all Proteobacteria, gram-negative. They are aerobic, and the cells are usually rod-shaped.[4] Many species of the Rhizobiaceae are diazotrophs which are able to fix nitrogen and are symbiotic with plant roots.
Phylogeny
The currently accepted taxonomy is based on the List of Prokaryotic names with Standing in Nomenclature (LPSN)[1] and the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI),[5] and the phylogeny is based on 16S rRNA-based LTP release 106 by The All-Species Living Tree Project [6]
