In this study, microsymbionts of two wild legumes, Argyrolobium biebersteinii (Ball in Feddes) and Lotus angustissimus L.,collected from Samsun province of Turkey were investigated using conventional and molecular methods. A total of five rhizobial isolates whichproduced active root nodules on their original hosts were considered. Identifications of the isolates were depending on the phylogenetic analysesof two housekeeping genes, 16S rDNA and recA. As a result of phylogenetic analyses, all isolates appeared within Mesorhizobium lineage. Ofthese isolates, OKN-1 and OKN-4 identified as Mesorhizobium tarimense and OKN-3 identified as M. japonicum. On the other hand, other twoisolates, OKN-7 and OKN-10 did not match up with any known Mesorhizobium species. In this study we present the first Mesorhizobiumisolates identified using valid molecular methods from Turkey. We also give the first reports of M. tarimense and M. japonicum from Turkeyand Europe. Additionally, the new M. tarimense and M. japonicum isolates in this study are the first isolates reported after the description ofthese two species from their original hosts and locations. In this study we also present molecular evidences for two new Mesorhizobium species,but this presumption needs further investigations.
