Nodulation Efficiency of Legume Inoculation as Determined by Intrinsic Antibiotic Resistance †
AUTOR(ES)
Kremer, Robert J.
RESUMO
Patterns of intrinsic resistance and susceptibility to different levels of antibiotics were determined for strains of both fast- and slow-growing rhizobia. These patterns were stable to plant passage when they were used to identify Rhizobium strains in nodule suspensions or nodule isolates. The method of identification by intrinsic resistance and susceptibility patterns was reliable for identifying strains in field nodules when strains were first isolated from the nodules to provide a standard inoculum size and then typed on antibiotic-containing media. Other patterns of resistance were encountered during identification of field isolates; these patterns may have resulted from acquired resistance to certain antibiotics or from mixed infections of the nodules. The occurrence of resistance patterns identical to those of inoculant strains among native strains was directly related to the size of the soil population. High strain recovery was associated directly with high rates of inoculation.
