Growth of Indigenous Rhizobium leguminosarum and Rhizobium meliloti in Soils Amended with Organic Nutrients.

Abstract:

:The ability of indigenous Rhizobium leguminosarum and Rhizobium meliloti to use organic nutrients as growth substrates in soil was assessed by indirect bacteriophage analysis. A total of 17 organic compounds, including 9 carbohydrates, 3 organic acids, and 5 amino acids, were tested (1,000 mug g) in three soils with different cropping histories. Four additional soils were screened with a glucose amendment. Nutrient amendments stimulated growth of indigenous rhizobia, allowing subsequent replication of indigenous bacteriophages. Phage populations were enumerated by plating soil extracts on 19 R. leguminosarum and 9 R. meliloti indicator strains, including root nodule isolates from the soils assayed. On the basis of indirect phage analysis, all soils contained native rhizobia similar to one or more of the indicator strains, although not all indicator strains were detected in soil. All organic compounds stimulated growth of indigenous rhizobia, but the growth response varied for each rhizobial strain depending on the nutrient, the nutrient concentration, and the soil. Indigenous rhizobia readily utilized most organic compounds except phenylalanine, glycine, and aspartic acid. The ability of indigenous rhizobia to utilize a wide range of organic compounds as growth substrates in situ indicates their ability to successfully compete with other soil bacteria for nutrients in these soils.
