Colonisation of Wheat Roots by Azospirillum Brasilense Wild Type and by Mutant Strains Impaired in Flocculation and Motility
Résumé
Surface colonisation of wheat roots by Azospirillum involves the polar flagellum and the production of exo-polysaccharides (Vande Broek,Vanderleyden, 1995). Bacteria on the root surface are ovoid in shape, resembling differentiated cyst-like cells.
