Defining the <i>Rhizobium leguminosarum</i> Species Complex

Bacteria currently included in <i>Rhizobium leguminosarum</i> are too diverse to be considered a single species, so we can refer to this as a species complex (the Rlc). We have found 429 publicly available genome sequences that fall within the Rlc and these show that the Rlc is a distinc...
