Evaluation of sequence-based tools to gather more insight into the positioning of rhizogenic agrobacteria within the Agrobacterium tumefaciens species complex

Pablo Roberto Vargas Ribera, Nuri Kim, Marc Venbrux…·Hans Rediers

The paper evaluates phylogenetic methods to improve Agrobacterium taxonomy, finding that multi-locus sequence analysis with ANIb thresholds better defines genomospecies than single-gene approaches.
