Abstract
Bacteroids prepared from nodules of soybean and bean were tested for viability. Contrary to the prevailing view that bacteroids are nonviable, bacteroids averaged 90% viability, irrespective of Rhizobium strain, nodule age or nodule environment.This publication has 3 references indexed in Scilit:
