The effect of four bacterial and six fungal species on nodulation and
growth of Vicia faba cv. Giza 3 inoculated with Rhizobium leguminosaru
m biovar viceae strain RCR 1001 were assessed in a pot experiment. Bac
illus cereus, Pseudomonas fluorescens, Aspergillus niger and A. quadri
liniatus either alive cells or sterile filtrate significantly promoted
modulation, growth and nitrogen accumulation. Heat-killed cells had n
o effect.
