Cross-reaction of predominant nitrogen-fixing bacteria with enveloped, round bodies in the root interior of kallar grass.
Diazotrophic rods occurring in high numbers (about 10 rods per g [dry weight] of root) in the root interior of Kallar grass were localized by indirect immunofluorescence in cross sections of the same roots. Specifically stained round bodies which were apparently covered by a nonantigenic envelope were found in the aerenchymatic tissue.
