Abstract excerpt
Spontaneous streptomycin-resistant mutants were isolated from two fast growing gum-producing strains Ca85 and Ca401 and from two moderately growing strains Ca181 and Ca534 of Rhizobium sp. Cicer. The nodulation ability and symbiotic effectiveness of the mutants relative to parent strains were evaluated on chickpea (Cicer arietinum) grown in sterilized chillum jars. Some mutants of strains Ca85 and Ca401 showed...
