title: [Azospirillum amazonense: its presence in the sugar cane area of the province of Tucumán].
abstract: We confirm the presence of Azospirillum amazonense in the sugar cane area of the Province of Tucumán. Several strains were isolated from sugar-cane roots in different places. Phenotypic and genotypic characteristics coincided with those described for this species. This new one is being added to the other two species, A. brasilense and A. lipoferum, already reported.
