[Characteristics of dissociation in cultures of Aspergillus brasilense Sp7].

Peculiarities of dissociation in the cultures of nitrogen-fixating soil microorganism Azospirillum brasilense have been studied. The possible transfer among colony-morphology variants is established. The relations between variants are described by the following scheme: R in equilibrium with SR----S Electrophoretic analysis of plasmid contents in different variants of Azospirillum brasilense supposes the possible participation of plasmid DNA in the dissociation process in this microorganism.
