Abstract

Existing methods for detection and identification of rhizobia are reviewed. Some perspectives for development of new and more effective techniques for monitoring of rhizobia in soil and in inoculants are presented. The advantages of the recently developed approach — PCR-genome fingerprinting, by use of arbitrary and repetitive primers, for precise bacterial identification are described. The possible application of this technique for developing taxon-specific rhizobial probes for direct detection of these bacteria in environmental samples is discussed.
