Abstract excerpt

The rhizosphere of wetland rice has significant N2-fixing activity. It has been suggested that N2 fixation in the rice root zone is associated with the activity of various N2-fixing heterotrophic bacteria that inhabit the rice rhizosphere. Because of the generic diversity, many different isolatio...
