  abstract = {{A}cacia spirorbis subsp. spirorbis {L}abill. is a widespread tree legume endemic to {N}ew {C}aledonia that grows in ultramafic ({UF}) and volcano-sedimentary ({VS}) soils. {T}he aim of this study was to assess the symbiotic promiscuity of {A}. spirorbis with nodulating and nitrogen-fixing rhizobia in harsh edaphic conditions. {F}orty bacterial strains were isolated from root nodules and characterized through (i) multilocus sequence analyses, (ii) symbiotic efficiency and (iii) tolerance to metals. {N}otably, 32.5% of the rhizobia belonged to the {P}araburkholderia genus and were only found in {UF} soils. {T}he remaining 67.5%, isolated from both {UF} and {VS} soils, belonged to the {B}radyrhizobium genus. {S}trains of the {P}araburkholderia genus showed significantly higher nitrogen-fixing capacities than those of {B}radyrhizobium genus. {S}trains of the two genera isolated from {UF} soils showed high metal tolerance and the respective genes occurred in 50% of strains. {T}his is the first report of both alpha- and beta-rhizobia strains associated to an {A}cacia species adapted to {UF} and {VS} soils. {O}ur findings suggest that {A}. spirorbis is an adaptive plant that establishes symbioses with whatever rhizobia is present in the soil, thus enabling the colonization of contrasted ecosystems.},
