Immunological and electrophoretic methods for the identification of Rh
izobium leguminosarum by. trifolii (R, trifolii) strain were assessed
with two standard R. trifolii strains (WU95 and NA3001) and two native
R, trifolii isolates (4.13 and 7.15). Antisera developed in sheep aga
inst 4.13 and 7.15 failed to react against the homologous antigen when
tested by whole cell agglutination, gel immune diffusion and immunobl
ot ELISA. However, these isolates were differentiated from WU95 and NA
3001 by SDS-PAGE.
