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 of Vicia
faba cv. Giza 3 inoculated with Rhizobium leguminosarum biovar viceae strain RCR
1001 were assessed in a pot experiment. Bacillus cereus, Pseudomonasfluorescens,
Aspergillus niger and ,4. quadriliniatus either alive cells or sterile filtrate
significantly promoted nodulation, growth and nitrogen accumulation. Heat-killed
cells had no effect.
