Ensifer (bacterium)

Ensifer (often referred to in literature by its synonym Sinorhizobium) is a genus of nitrogen-fixing bacteria (rhizobia), three of which (Ensifer meliloti,[22][23] Ensifer medicae[24] and Ensifer fredii[25][26]) have been sequenced.

Etymology

edit

The generic epithet Ensifer derives from the Latin noun ensifer, "sword-bearer".[3] The synonym Sinorhizobium is a combination of Medieval Latin noun sino ("China"), the Classical Greek noun rhiza ("root"), and the Classical Greek noun bium ("life"). Thus, the Neo-Latin generic epithet of the synonym Sinorhizobium means "a Rhizobium isolated from China", in turn referring to the related genus Rhizobium ("root-associated life form").[18][9]

Proper name

edit

The name Ensifer was published in 1982 and the name Sinorhizobium was published in 1988 thus the latter is regarded as a later synonym and by the rules of the Bacteriological Code (1990 Revision) of the International Committee on Systematics of Prokaryotes (ICSP), the older name (Ensifer) takes priority.[27] In response to a request that the single extant species of Ensifer (Ensifer adhaerens) be moved to Sinorhizobium, a special ICSP subcommittee was formed to evaluate the request. It was ultimately ruled that Ensifer retained priority and that all Sinorhizobium species be transferred to the genus Ensifer.[28][29] However, both terms continue to be used in published scientific literature, with Sinorhizobium being the more common.[30]

Deprecated species

edit

Two species have been described which have since been reclassified into existing species: Sinorhizobium morelense (now Ensifer adhaerens)[27][31] and Sinorhizobium xinjiangense (now Ensifer fredii[32][33]—though some dissent exists[16][34]).

Phylogeny

edit

The currently accepted taxonomy is based on the List of Prokaryotic names with Standing in Nomenclature (LPSN).[18][19] The following phylogeny is based on whole-genome analysis.[35]

This phylogeny is based on a constrained analysis of the 16S ribosomal RNA.[35]
