Enhancement of faba bean nodulation, nitrogen fixation and growth by different microorganisms

Research Abstract

The effect of four bacterial and six fungal species on nodulation and growth ofVicia faba cv. Giza 3 inoculated withRhizobium leguminosarum biovarviceae strain RCR 1001 were assessed in a pot experiment.Bacillus cereus, Pseudomonas fluorescens, Aspergillus niger andA. quadriliniatus either alive cells or sterile filtrate significantly promoted nodulation, growth and nitrogen accumulation. Heat-killed cells had no effect.
