title: Comparative response of Pisum sativum nodulated with indigenous soil Rhizobium populations and/or co-inoculated with a Rhizobium leguminosarum strain. I. Acetylene-reducing, dihydrogen- and carbon dioxide-evolving activities.
abstract: No significant differences in the acetylene-reducing activity and evolution of H2 and CO2 from nodulated roots of Pisum sativum inoculated with soil Rhizobium populations from two soils with different acidities (Ruzynĕ soil 7.6; Lukavec soil 4.9) were observed. Rhizobium population from Lukavec soil formed nodules, exhibiting a higher H2 evolution. Co-inoculation with the Hup+ strain 128C30 (7 x 10(7) cells per seedling) eliminated, to some extent, the effect of soil populations on physiological activity.
