Abstract
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.
