Paraburkholderia phymatum explained

Paraburkholderia phymatum is a species of bacteria that is capable of symbiotic nitrogen fixation with the legumes Machaerium lunatum and Mimosa pudica.[1] Recently, the genome (8.67 Mbp long) was sequenced. It consists of two chromosomes (3.49 and 2.7 Mbp), a megaplasmid (1.9 Mbp), and a plasmid hosting the symbiotic functions (0.56 Mbp).[2]
