Rhizobium strain identification and quantification in commercial inoculants by immunoblot analysis.
نویسندگان
چکیده
An immunoblot procedure for the strain-specific quantitative analysis of commercial Rhizobium inoculants was developed. The technique greatly reduced the time required for inoculant analysis. Correlation between immunoblot analysis and traditional plant nodule grow-out most-probable-number techniques was r = 0.90 for 16 commercial alfalfa inoculants tested.

Identification of Rhizobium spp. in peat-based inoculants by DNA hybridization and PCR and its application in inoculant quality control.
Procedures based on DNA hybridization and PCR were developed for quality control of Rhizobium inoculants. Inoculants for pea and goat's rue were produced by Elomestari Ltd., Juva, Finland, in sterile dry fine peat by the standard procedure used by the company. The inoculants contained Rhizobium galegae HAMBI 1174 and HAMBI 1207 and an R. leguminosarum biovar vicia strain, 16HSA, either solely o...
متن کاملA Selective Medium for the Isolation and Quantification of Bradyrhizobium japonicum and Bradyrhizobium elkanii Strains from Soils and Inoculants.
The ecological examination of members of the family Rhizobiaceae has been hampered by the lack of a selective medium for isolation of root nodule bacteria from soil. A novel non-antibiotic-containing medium has been developed which allows selective isolation of Bradyrhizobium japonicum and B. elkanii strains from soil and inoculants. The medium, BJSM, is based on the resistance of B.japonicum a...
متن کاملEffect of steam sterilization and gamma irradiation of peat on quality of Rhizobium inoculants.
Data obtained by independent tests on each of 483 batches of Rhizobium inoculants for Glycine max, Medicago sativa, and Arachis hypogaea, manufactured commercially in South Africa, are reported and discussed. Whereas the average cell count per gram per batch was well in excess of 10, inoculants for G. max and M. sativa manufactured with peat treated with gamma irradiation at a dose of 50 kGr co...

Fully grown broth cultures of various fast- and slow-growing rhizobia were deliberately diluted with various diluents before their aseptic incorporation into autoclaved peat in polypropylene bags (aseptic method) or mixed with the peat autoclaved in trays (tray method). In a factorial experiment with the aseptic method, autoclaved and irradiated peat samples from five countries were used to pre...
