Journal ArticleDOI
Studies on the Inoculation and Competitiveness of a Rhizobium leguminosarum Strain in Soils Containing Indigenous Rhizobia.
TL;DR: Investigation of the competitiveness of a Rhizobium leguminosarum strain in field inoculation studies on commercially grown peas indicated that a dominant strain(s) and plasmid pool existed among the indigenous population at site II.
Journal ArticleDOI
Isolation of an Asm− mutant of Rhizobium japonicum defective in symbiotic N2-fixation
TL;DR: Although mutant CJ9 induced nitrogenase activity in an ‘in vitro’ assay system under microaerobic conditions, it failed to fix nitrogen (acetylene reduction) in soybean root nodules and constitute a new Asm − mutant class in Rhizobium spp.
Journal ArticleDOI
Production and storage of Rhizobium leguminosarum cell concentrates for use as inoculants
TL;DR: Recovery of Rhizobium leguminosarum cells by centrifugation after growth in an industrial fermenter was 100-fold higher when cells were grown on yeast extract (5 g/1) as sole source of carbon and nitrogen when compared with the yields recovered when Cells were grown in standard mannitol-yeast extract medium.
Journal ArticleDOI
Expression and regulation of the Escherichia coli glutamate dehydrogenase gene (gdh) in Rhizobium japonicum.
TL;DR: The glutamate dehydrogenase (gdh) gene of Escherichia coli was transferred into an ammonium assimilation deficient mutant of Rhizobium japonicum (CJ9) using plasmid pRP301, a broad host range derivative of RP4 to restore symbiotic effectiveness to the CJ9 Asm- strain in nodules.
Journal Article
Research letterIsolation of an Asm− mutant of Rhizobium japonicum defective in symbiotic N2-fixation
TL;DR: A mutant strain of Rhizobium japonicum (CJ9) unable to assimilate ammonium (Asm−) was isolated following mutagenesis with N-methyl N-nitro-nitrosoguanidine (NTG) as mentioned in this paper.
