  abstract = {{A}lthough legume biodiversity is concentrated in tropical regions, the majority of studies on legume nodulating bacteria ({LNB}) are focused on cultivated leguminous plants from temperate regions. {H}owever, recent works on tropical regions tend to indicate that the actual diversity of {LNB} is largely underestimated. {I}n this study, we report the isolation and characterization of 68 nitrogen-fixing root nodule bacteria collected from eight endemic tree species of {D}albergia in {M}adagascar. {T}he isolates were characterized by (i) restriction fragment length polymorphism ({RFLP}) analysis of 16{S}-{IGS} r{DNA}, (ii) 16{S} r{DNA} gene sequencing and (iii) nodulation tests. {R}esults revealed a wide diversity of bacteria present in the nodules of {D}albergia. {A}mong the 68 isolated bacteria, 65 belonged to {B}radyrhizobium, {M}esorhizobium, {R}hizobium, {A}zorhizobium and {P}hyllobacterium from the alpha-class of {P}roteobacteria, and three isolates belonged to {B}urkholderia and {R}alstonia from the beta-class of {P}roteobacteria. {O}ur results also show for the first time that a strain belonging to the {B}urkholderia cepacia complex is able to induce efficient nodules on a legume plant.},
