Selective medium for recovering specific populations of rhizobia introduced into tropical soils.
نویسنده
چکیده
Experiments were designed to evaluate the usefulness of antifungal agents and streptomycin for recovering low densities of rhizobia inoculated into tropical soils. The results showed that yeast-mannitol agar (pH 6.0) containing 500 mug of streptomycin, 400 mug of cycloheximide and 50 mug of benomyl or chlorothalonil per ml was the best selective medium.

Ecological indicators of native rhizobia in tropical soils.
The relationship between environment and abundance of rhizobia was described by determining the populations of root nodule bacteria at 14 diverse sites on the island of Maui. Mean annual rainfall at the sites ranged from 320 to 1,875 mm, elevation from 37 to 1,650 m, and soil pH from 4.6 to 7.9. Four different soil orders were represented in this study: inceptisols, mollisols, ultisols, and an ...
متن کاملSurvival and Competitiveness of Bradyrhizobium japonicum Strains 20 Years after Introduction into Field Locations in Poland.
It was previously demonstrated that there are no indigenous strains of Bradyrhizobium japonicum forming nitrogen-fixing root nodule symbioses with soybean plants in arable field soils in Poland. However, bacteria currently classified within this species are present (together with Bradyrhizobium canariense) as indigenous populations of strains specific for nodulation of legumes in the Genisteae ...
متن کاملInoculation response of legumes in relation to the number and effectiveness of indigenous Rhizobium populations.
The response of legumes to inoculation with rhizobia can be affected by many factors. Little work has been undertaken to examine how indigenous populations or rhizobia affect this response. We conducted a series of inoculation trials in four Hawaiian soils with six legume species (Glycine max, Vigna unguiculata, Phaseolus lunatus, Leucaena leucocephala, Arachis hypogaea, and Phaseolus vulgaris)...
متن کاملAssociative diazotrophic bacteria in grass roots and soils from heavy metal contaminated sites.
This work aimed to evaluate density of associative diazotrophic bacteria populations in soil and grass root samples from heavy metal contaminated sites, and to characterize isolates from these populations, both, phenotypically (Zinc, Cadmium and NaCl tolerance in vitro, and protein profiles) and genotypically (16S rDNA sequencing), as compared to type strains of known diazotrophic species. Dens...
متن کاملReliability of the most-probable-number technique for enumerating rhizobia in tropical soils.
We used six rhizobium-legume systems to test the reliability of the most-probable-number (MPN) technique for enumerating rhizobia introduced into 14 sites representing four soil orders. The range-of-transition values (the number of dilution steps between the first not-entirely-positive and the last not-entirely-negative growth units) were compared for each species and for each soil. The probabi...
