Abstract

No significant differences in the acetylene-reducing activity and evolution of H2 and CO2 nodulated roots ofPisum sativum inoculated with soilRhizobium populations from two soils with different acidities (Ruzyně soil 7.6; Lukavec soil 4.9) were observed.Rhizobium population from Lukavec soil formed nodules, exhibiting a higher H2 evolution. Co-inoculation with the Hup+ strain 128C30 (7×107 cells per seedling) eliminated, to some extent, the effect of soil populations on physiological activity.
