چکیده
Although several workers have investigated the serological characteristics of the organisms in the genus Rhizobium, few have given much consideration to the possible relationships between bacteria isolated from plants of the soybean, cowpea, and lupine groups. Moreover, none of these workers has had the benefit of recent discoveries in immunology, which have made new concepts and new techniques available for studies of the antigenic constitution of bacteria. The frequency with which recent papers (Leonard, 1923; Sears and Carroll, 1927; Hansen and Tanner, 1931; Carroll, 1934; Walker and Brown, 1935; Raju, 1936; Reid, 1936; Conklin, 1936; Toxopeus, 1936; Bushnell and Sarles, 1937) have reported "inter-crossings" among the bacteria and plants of the soybean, cowpea, and lupine groups, and the consequent confusion attending upon the classification of both plants and bacteria in these groups, has made advisable some study of the antigenic constituents of these bacteria. Such a study must necessarily consider the roles played by flagellar and by capsular substances in determining the serological specificity of a bacterial strain. The agglutination test appeared to lend itself best to a study of this sort.

متن کاملThyroid Nodule Imaging. Status and Limitations.
Thyroid nodules are common, occurring in almost two-thirds of some populations; among these only about 7% are malignant. The most important question with any new discovered thyroid nodule is, “is this malignant?” The main arbiter of malignancy or benignity remains fine needle aspiration and the mainstay of treatment surgery. But given the resources involved, doing an FNAC or surgery in every di...
متن کاملEffects of Rhizobium– Mycorrhizae Symbiosis and Foliar Application of Urea on Some Traits of Soybean
In order to investigate the effect of rhizobium bacteria, mycorrhiza fungi and foliar application of urea on qualitative and quantitative traits of soybean an experiment was conducted based on randomized complete block design with four replications. The experiment included six treatments as: Control (C), Rhizobium bacteria (R), Rhizobium bacteria + Mycorrhiza fungi (R+M), Rhizobium bacteria + F...
متن کاملA novel fuzzy multi-criteria decision-making methodology based upon the spherical fuzzy sets with a real case study
The choice of roll stabilization system is critical for many types of ships. For warships where operational activities are fast and the concept of time is very effective, determining the most appropriate of these systems is of particular importance. Some operations, such as the landing of the helicopter on board, are critical for naval ships. Unwanted rolling motion makes this difficult. In add...
متن کاملSelection of Strains of Root Nodule Bacteria to Improve Inoculant Performance and Increase Legume Productivity in Stressful Environments
Pulse, pasture and grain legumes are important for maintaining productivity in many agricultural systems. The formation of effective nitrogen-fixing symbioses between legumes and root nodule bacteria is essential for many legumes in agriculture. In many situations, soil inoculation with effective strains of root nodule bacteria is required for maximising legume yields. A key strategy to enhance...
