RhizoGATE–The gateway to rhizobial genomes
Rhizobia are a diverse group of bacteria that engage in symbioses with the roots of leguminous host plants. Once established as symbionts, these bacteria reduce dinitrogen to a form the plant can use for growth. Symbiotic bacteria contribute significantly to an ecologically-sound and cost-efficient nitrogen supply. Most rhizobia (order Rhizobiales) belong to families within the alphaproteobacteria subdivision.
The RhizoGATE portal was established by a consortium as a single access site to genome and postgenome data of this group of bacteria to facilitate data management and access to information. It integrates a number of analysis tools and data repositories.
