Species of the genus Bradyrhizobium are recognized as important nitrogen-fixing symbionts of various legumes, including lupine, groundnut, and soybean.

The staff of the Molecular and Cell Biology Laboratory of ARRIAM, led by V.E. Tsyganov, studied the genome of strain RCAM1614 isolated approximately 20 years ago from effective nodules of Lupinus angustifolius L. in the Leningrad district, Russia and deposited into RCAM.  As a result of genome analysis, this strain was classified as Bradyrhizobium barranii.

This work was supported by the Ministry of Science and Higher Education of the Russian Federation within the framework of the Agreement of May 29, 2025 No. 075-15-2025-472 on the provision of a grant in the form of a subsidy from the federal budget for the implementation of the project: "Expansion of the fund and development of genomic research in the collection of microorganisms the Network Collection of Bioresources in the field of genetic technologies for agriculture (RCAM)".
