  abstract = {{A}ims: {W}e characterized phenotypically and genotypically root-nodulating bacteria associated with {A}cacia senegal ({L}.) {W}illd. isolated from the soils surrounding {A}. senegal trees in the dry land area of {S}enegal. {M}ethods and {R}esults: {T}he phenotypical and genotypical characterizations we carried out showed a high diversity of {A}. senegal root-nodulating bacteria. {P}henotypic patterns showed adaptations of the rhizobial strains to many environmental stresses such as heat, drought, and salinity. {T}welve molecular groups were distinguished by profiles obtained using polymerase chain reaction/restriction fragment length polymorphism techniques from intergenic spacer region r{DNA}. {T}he highest genetic diversity was found around the {A}. senegal rhizosphere. {T}herefore, {A}. senegal seemed to have a positive influence on occurrence and genotypical diversity of rhizobial populations. {R}hizobial isolates obtained in this study belonged phylogenetically to the genera {M}esorhizobium and {R}hizobium. {C}onclusions: {O}ur results provided information about the genetic diversity of the rhizobial strains associated with {A}. senegal and suggested the adaptability of natural rhizobial populations to major ecological environmental stress within these soil environments. {S}ignificance and {I}mpact of the {S}tudy: {T}hese results suggested a potential selection of compatible and well adapted strains under stress conditions as inoculants for successful {A}. senegal growth in arid lands.},
