The Bradyrhizobiaceae are a family of bacteria, with ten genera. They include plant-associated bacteria such as Bradyrhizobium , a genus of rhizobia associated with some legumes. It also contains animal-associated bacteria such as Afipia felis , formerly thought to cause cat-scratch disease. Others are free-living, such as Rhodopseudomonas , a purple bacterium found in marine water and soils.
