Abstract
A Rhizobium strain isolated from stem nodules of the legume Sesbania rostrata was shown to grow on atmospheric nitrogen (N 2 ) as the sole nitrogen source. Non-N 2 -fixing mutants isolated directly on agar plates formed nodules that did not fix N 2 when inoculated into the host plant.Keywords
