[Chemotaxis and growth of Bradyrhizobium japonicum in the presence of fine-dispersed silica].
The chemotactic properties of the soybean nodule bacterium Bradyrhizobium japonicum were studied in the presence of synthetic fine-dispersed materials. It was shown that fine-dispersed silica (FDS) and its variety modified with aluminum oxide (MFDS) reduce bacterial chemotaxis to glucose. In addition, FDS increases the irregular motility of B. japonicum, and MFDS decreases it. This is in agreement with the effect of the materials on the rate of nodule bacterium growth.
