✦ Synopsis
Eighteen strains of Rhizobium lu2ini were shown to form effectively nitrogen-fixing root nodules in Lotus uliginosus whose rhizobia appeared culturally similar to R. lupini. Six strains formed effective or (in one case) semi-effective nodules in Ornithopus sativus.
Evidence has been found for the existence of an extensive cross-inoculation group involving the genera Lupinus, Ornithopus, Lotus, Anthyllis, Caragana, Astragalus, Ononis, Genista, Mimosa and probably others. The rhizobia include fastgrowing as well as slow-growing strains.
