Abstract
The herbicide 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D) produced a delete rious effect on the growth of Rhizobium sp. M4, that was reversed by t ransferring the cells to a fresh control medium. The uptake of 2,4-D b y Rhizobium sp. was not affected by chloramphenicol, indicating that i t is constitutive rather than inducible. The mechanism of transport al so appears to be energy independent, since uptake was not inhibited by azide or aseniate.
