Burkholderia species, belonging to the Beta-Proteobacteria, was first recognised as rhizobium in 2001. In the Cape Floristic Region (CFR), these beta-rhizobia are one of the dominant symbionts with the South African native indigenous legumes.
To further our understanding of the biology and evolution of this symbiosis, I am focusing on the genomic, transcriptomic and advance taxonomic work on the South African CFR plant associated Burkholderia symbionts for my Phd study.
