Sinorhizobium meliloti is a nitrogen-fixing bacterium (rhizobium). It forms a symbiotic relationship with legumes from the genera Medicago, Melilotus and Trigonella, including model legume Medicago truncatula. The S. meliloti genome contains three replicons: a 3.65 megabase chromosome and two megaplasmids, pSymA (1.35 megabases) and pSymB (1.68 megabases), that have all been fully sequenced.
