  abstract = {{T}en mesorhizobial strains isolated from root-nodules of {A}nthyllis vulneraria by trapping using soils from southern {F}rance were studied to resolve their taxonomy. {T}heir 16{S} r{DNA} sequences were identical and indicated that they are affiliated to the genus {M}esorhizobium within the group {M}. prunaredense/{M}. del-motii/{M}. temperatum/{M}. mediterraneum/{M}. wenxiniae and {M}. robiniae as the closest defined species. {T}heir evolutionary relationships with validated species were further characterized by multilocus sequence analysis ({MLSA}) using 4 protein-coding housekeeping genes (rec{A}, atp{D}, gln{II} and dna{K}), that divides the strains in two groups, and suggest that they belong to two distinct species. {T}hese results were well-supported by {MALDI}-{TOF} mass spectrometry analyses, wet-lab {DNA}-{DNA} hybridization (<= 58%), and genome-based species delineation methods ({ANI} < 96%, in silico {DDH} < 70%), confirming their affiliation to two novel species. {B}ased on these differences, {M}esorhizobium ventifaucium ({STM}4922({T}) = {LMG} 29643({T}) = {CFBP} 8438({T})) and {M}esorhizobium escarrei (type strain {STM}5069({T}) = {LMG} 29642({T}) = {CFBP} 8439({T})) are proposed as names for these two novel species. {T}he phylogeny of nodulation genes nod{C} and nod{A} allocated the type strains into symbiovar anthyllidis as well as those of {M}. metallidurans {STM}2683({T}) , {M}. delmotii {STM}4623({T}) and {M}. prunaredense {STM}4891({T}) , all recovered from the same legume species.},
