A reduction in the viability of cowpea rhizobia was observed when Rhizobium trifolii IARI and cowpea Rhizobium strain 3824 were inoculated together in soil. The reduction in number of cowpea rhizobia in soil was found to be associated with the reduction in number of nodules per plant and retardation in plant growth. An antimicrobial substance was isolated from R. trifolii which, on electron microscopic investigation, demonstrated the presence of several phage-like structures.
当三叶草根瘤菌 IARI 和豇豆根瘤菌 3824 一起接种到土壤中时,观察到豇豆根瘤菌的生存力降低。土壤中豇豆根瘤菌数量的减少与每株植物的根瘤数量减少和植物生长迟缓有关。从三叶草根瘤菌中分离到一种抗菌物质,电镜观察表明该物质存在几种噬菌体样结构。
