  abstract = {{T}he legume genus {M}imosa has > 500 species, with two major centres of diversity, {B}razil (c. 350 spp.) and {M}exico (c. 100 spp.). {I}n {B}razil most species are nodulated by {B}urkholderia. {H}ere we asked whether this is also true of native and endemic {M}exican species. {W}e have tested this apparent affinity for betaproteobacteria by examining the symbionts of native and endemic species of {M}imosa in {M}exico, especially from the central highlands where {M}imosa spp. have diversified. {N}odules were tested for betaproteobacteria using in situ immunolocalization. {R}hizobia isolated from the nodules were genetically characterized and tested for their ability to nodulate {M}imosa spp. {I}mmunological analysis of 25 host taxa suggested that most (including all the highland endemics) were not nodulated by betaproteobacteria. {P}hylogenetic analyses of 16{S} r{RNA}, rec{A}, nod{A}, nod{C} and nif{H} genes from 87 strains isolated from 20 taxa confirmed that the endemic {M}exican {M}imosa species favoured alphaproteobacteria in the genera {R}hizobium and {E}nsifer: this was confirmed by nodulation tests. {H}ost phylogeny, geographic isolation and coevolution with symbionts derived from very different soils have potentially contributed to the striking difference in the choice of symbiotic partners by {M}exican and {B}razilian {M}imosa species.},
