Abstract

Rhizobium strain NGR234 has generated much interest becuase this fast-growing strain is able to form nitrogen-fixing (effective) nodules with a wide range of legumes including Macroptilium atropurpureum (siratro), Desmodium intortum (desmodium), Vigna unguiculata (Cowpea), Lablab purpureus (lablab), Leucaena leucocephala and ineffectively nodulate Glycine max (soybean) and the non-legume Parasponia andersonii. A large symbiotic plasmid (approx. 470kb) in strain NGR234 (Morrison et al., 1984; Pankhurst et al., 1983) has been identified.
