Abstract
The current interest in growth of legumes in acid soils has stimulated the search for strains of rhizobia adapted to such soils. In addition we wished to detect any adaptation of strains to selection pressures imposed by acid and neutral soils Using the medium developed for this investigation, we found such adaptation does occur.
