Species code:	RHIEC
Taxonomy:	Bacteria; Proteobacteria; Alphaproteobacteria; Rhizobiales; Rhizobiaceae; Rhizobium/Agrobacterium group; Rhizobium (TaxID: 347834) [NEWT/ NCBI]
Description:	Rhizobium etli, a soil-dwelling, symbiotic nitrogen-fixing bacterium, is the main nodulator of Phaseolus vulgaris, the common bean. It contains one chromosome and 6 large plasmids, which contribute approximately one third of the genome. This strain is of considerable agronomic importance.
Properties:	Presence of flagella: Yes Interaction: Plant symbiont Number of membranes: 2 Number of inteins:0
Statistics:	Number of RHIEC entries in the UniProt Knowledgebase: 5921 (397 in UniProtKB/Swiss-Prot + 5524 in UniProtKB/TrEMBL)
