Comparative Genomics Provides Insights into the Taxonomy of <i>Azoarcus</i> and Reveals Separate Origins of <i>Nif</i> Genes in the Proposed <i>Azoarcus</i> and <i>Aromatoleum</i> Genera

Among other attributes, the Betaproteobacterial genus <i>Azoarcus</i> has biotechnological importance for plant growth-promotion and remediation of petroleum waste-polluted water and soils. It comprises at least two phylogenetically distinct groups. The “plant-associated” group includes...
