Popis: Recently, the isolation of presumptive diazotrophic endophytic bacteria from rice seedlings has been reported (Ladha et al. 1997; Yanni et al. 1996, 1997). These microbes were detected after the roots had been surface sterilised and the plant tissue macerated, diluted and the suspensions plated out for viable colony-forming bacteria to determine the most probable number (MPN). Based on these results, it was suggested that the detected rhizobia had formed a potential endophytic association within the roots of rice plants grown in fields rotated with Egyptian berseem clovers (Yanni et al. 1996). The rhizobia were identified as Rhizobium leguminosarum bv. trifolii strains and we have compared the biological properties of several of these strains with the archetypal R. l. bv. trifolii strain, ANU843.
