Abstract
An attempt was made to determine if wheat and maize radicles can be a carbon and energy source for Azospirillum dinitrogen fixing bacteria. The results show that the compounds from crushed wheat and maize radic les were not an optimal source of carbon and energy for Azospirillum. The most effective dinitrogen fixation by these bacteria was on contro l malate medium.
